Cue visibility roles and event participants
Configure what people can work on in a project and what they see during a show.
Arthoff separates project roles, cue visibility roles, and event-participant assignments. This lets someone work in a project while seeing only the material needed for their role during a show.
Three access layers
| Concept | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Project role | Determines what a person can do in the project, such as edit content or manage an event. |
| Cue visibility role | Determines which cues a function can see during a show. |
| Event-participant assignment | Connects a specific person with a cue visibility role for a specific event. |
These layers do not replace one another. A project role does not select a show view, and a cue visibility role does not grant permission to edit a project.
Configure cue visibility roles
Assigning a member to another visibility role changes their previous visibility-role assignment in the project. Deleting a role also removes its assignments.
Assign a participant to an event
In the event's Participants area, add a team member and select their visibility role. An active participant with this assignment can join the show as a signed-in member and receives the view for that role.
An event manager can also revoke a participant assignment. Someone without an active assignment and visibility role remains in the waiting room after joining with a lobby code.
Why a connected person sees a restricted sequence
The show view filters cues by the visibility role assigned to the participant. Directors see the full sequence. Other roles see only the cues shared with their role. For the actor role, when a cue names specific cast members, only cues assigned to that cast are shown as well.
This is expected behavior: connecting to a show confirms access, but does not bypass cue visibility settings.
Who manages the configuration
Only a member with permission to manage roles can create, change, or delete cue visibility roles and their assignments. Only someone with permission to update the event can add, activate, or revoke event participants.
Configuration scope
Arthoff does not provide separate permission overrides for an individual script or cue. Use cue visibility roles and event-participant assignments instead.
