Podcaster Team Seats Permissions

Learn all the ways a Team Seat role can interact with RedCircle!

Team Seats are an excellent way to grant multiple people access to the show(s) on your account. The feature allows for co-hosts, editors, producers, and other contributors to work on the show(s) without needing to share login credentials.

Each Team Seat comes with its own dedicated login. Each seat can be customized to the specific level of access desired for every member of your organization. But what exactly are those permissions? Well, wonder no more! This article was written to address that exact question.

Be sure to check out the Teams Seats Overview article to learn more about the feature and how to set it up for your account.

The Team Seats feature is available for those on the Pro Plan or higher.
