💫 The feature is only available to shows on our Large Budget plan 💫

Document Access Levels let you limit who can edit specific documents in your show's workspace.

How the Feature Works

If your workspace has this feature enabled, every script in your workspace will have an access level of Open or Limited.

  • Open scripts can be edited by all show members

  • Limited scripts can be edited only by workspace members who have the permission called Limited Access Editing. All other show members can read them and leave comments but cannot edit them.

  • New documents are set to Open by default.

  • Only members with the Script Access permission can switch the access level of a script from Open to Limited or vice versa.

  • Workspace Admins are the members who can grant the Limited Access Editing and Script Access permissions.

Anyone with the Script Access permission will be able to click the Script Access button in the lower right corner of the script editor.

Select an access level and click Save.

When the access level is Limited, only selected people will still be able to edit the document. All other show members will be able to read the document and leave comments, but they won't be able to make changes to it.
