User Permissions

Create user groups and control what each team member can do.

User Permissions

Studio owners can now create User groups to control what individual team members are allowed to do in Eye.photo.

Instead of every studio user having the same access, you can create named permission sets for different responsibilities: editors, assistants, sales staff, event teams, or any workflow your studio uses.

Where to find it

Open Users → Roles & Permissions here: eye.photo/users?tab=roles_and_permissions.

Create a new group directly here: eye.photo/user_groups/new.

What you can do now

  • Create named groups with a clear description for your team.
  • Choose the permissions each group should have.
  • Assign a group to a studio user when inviting or editing a team member.
  • Preview allowed and restricted permissions before saving a user.
  • Set a default group for new invites.

Why it matters

Studio teams often need different levels of access. A photo editor may need to upload photos and create art, while another teammate may only need limited day-to-day tools. User groups let studio owners keep access focused without giving everyone full studio-user permissions.

Groups can only limit what the base Studio user role already allows, so they are designed to reduce access safely rather than grant extra owner-level control.
