Summer may be hot. . . but the Prospero team is hotter 🔥 We have not slowed down at all this month, bringing you a slew of scorching new updates. Introducing user role-based permissions so you can preset user permissions, bulk editing for event details along with other event fields, transferable view ownership, and last but not least, a ‘Forgot Password’ button. 😎

User Role-Based Permissions

Running a season can take a lot of hands in Prospero: production managers, scheduling coordinators, front-of-house, guest artists. Before, each user’s permissions needed to be set individually when a new account was created. Now you can create User Roles with preset permissions that define exactly what each role can see and do. Every user is assigned a role, and their permissions are set automatically. Need an exception for one person? You can override any permission at the individual user level without changing the whole role.

To create role-based permissions, go to Members in settings. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Create Role. Select the permissions the new role will be able to access. Once saved, a user can be assigned to the role and immediately inherit the role’s permissions.

Bulk Edit Event Details

When you're setting up a run of shows or rehearsals, the same note often needs to land on every event, whether it's a call time, a location, or a reminder for the crew. You can now update the Details field across as many events as you like in a single bulk edit. Both Details and Admin Notes are also full rich-text editors when bulk editing, so shared information can be formatted exactly the way you want.

Change View Owners

Views sometimes outlive the person who created them. When a coordinator changes roles or hands off a schedule, you can now easily pass a view to a teammate in settings. To change a view’s owner, open the Update View modal and pick a new admin from the Owner field. Shared links keep working without interruption, and the view now shows events based on the new owner's access.

Password Reset Button

Forgot your password? Happens to the best of us. You can now have a password reset link sent to your email so you can quickly reset your password on your own without the team 😄 #upgradespeopleupgrades
