What You Can Do
The web portal is designed for management tasks — things that are easier on a larger screen:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| View Hubs | See all hubs you're a member of with member counts and your role |
| Manage Members | View members, promote/demote roles, remove members, set channel restrictions |
| Manage Invites | Create invite codes, set expiry/limits, copy deep links, delete codes |
| Hub Settings | View hub details, channel configuration |
Who Can Use It
The portal respects the same role system as the mobile app:
- Owners and Admins — Full management access (members, invites, settings)
- Members — View-only access to hub information
💡 Pre-Production Workflow
The portal shines during pre-production:
- Create your hub in the mobile app
- Open the portal on your laptop
- Generate invite codes for each department
- Share codes via email or call sheets
- Set up channel restrictions for different departments
- Review the member list as crew joins
