Teams & membership

What it is

A team is your workspace in Aden. Everything you create — tracks, albums, sessions, release plans, contacts — lives inside a team. You can belong to multiple teams and switch between them at any time.

Teams can be just you, or a group of collaborators: a band, a production duo, or an artist managed by a label. Each member has a role that controls what they can see and do.

Using it

Create a team. Go to New team from the team switcher or the /app/teams/create page. Give your team a name, a slug (the short URL identifier), and optionally a timezone. Your account is automatically added as the admin — you don't need to do anything else for yourself.

Invite collaborators. From your team's settings, go to the Members tab and enter an email address. The person receives an invitation email with a link. They can accept or decline from the link or from the Invites page in the app. An invitation expires after a configurable number of days (default 7).

Manage roles. Each member is either an Admin or a Member. Admins can invite and remove people, change team settings, and manage billing. Members can work on content but cannot change who else has access. You can also set a display title for each member (e.g. "Producer", "A&R") and flag them as an artist — artist-flagged members can be auto-added as collaborators on new tracks if the team has that setting enabled.

Deactivate or remove someone. Deactivating a member soft-deletes their access (deactivated_at is set) without removing the row, so their history is preserved. They can be reactivated later. Removing permanently ends the membership. You can also leave a team yourself as long as at least one admin remains.

Switch the active team. The active team is stored in a cookie and drives the sidebar and all team-scoped queries. Use the team switcher in the top-left or navigate directly to a team URL.
