Card Permissions

In this guide, I'll go over how you can use SongBoard's Card Permissions to control who has access to certain parts of an event.

What are Card Permissions?

In SongBoard, card permissions are a way of setting who has access to a particular section (known as a card) in an event.

There are a few shortcuts SongBoard has for setting some common card permissions:

Permission #1: DJs and Hosts

The default permission is "DJs and Hosts", meaning DJs and hosts can view and edit the card.

Permission #2: DJs Only

"DJs Only" is when you have a card that only the DJ should see and edit.

For example, you could have a card for "DJ Notes". In that case, you can configure the card permissions so only DJs can see that card (hosts and guests will not have access to even see that card).

Permission #3: Public

The "Public" permission shortcut is for when you want guests to be able to read and edit a card.

This can come in handy if you accept song requests from guests. You can make a card for "Song Requests", and give it "Public" permissions.

Custom Permissions

On the Permissions dialog, you can create your own permission by clicking the checkboxes for "Edit" and "View" for Hosts or Guests.

You can use this to create a brand new permission, such as one where Hosts can view, but not edit. This could be used for distributing information to the host, without allowing them to edit (like sharing pricing information).

By default, the DJ will always be able to view and edit all cards. This can't be changed because the DJ is the boss. 💪

How to Set Card Permissions

To modify permissions for any card, simply navigate to the Board page for an event, and click on the card you'd like to set permissions on.

Click the 3-dot menu on the card's header and click on "Permissions". From there you'll be able to change the permissions however you'd like.

Setting card permissions is only available for DJs and admins. Your hosts are not able to change card permissions.

Conclusion

Card permissions allow you to customize who can see, and edit certain cards. It allows you to create all sorts of unique workflows within your board.

It can be used for important notes for only DJs, public song requests, sharing pricing info, and much more.

So check it out and get creative with what it can do for your events! 😊
