Plans and Access Levels

AD, Producer and Company: what each plan carries, whose plan answers for a shared show, and what to do at a locked feature.

6 min readUpdated August 2026

Three Plans

Each plan is the one below it plus something.

PlanForAdds
AD1st and 2nd ADs running the floorCall sheets, DOOD, Exhibit G, imports, distribution
ProducerProducers, UPMs and coordinatorsHot costs, burn rate, DOOD pay columns, producer dashboard
CompanyProduction companies running distant locationsLodging, Transpo, granular payroll tracking
Important: Company is not yet officially available. The tabs exist and the shows running on it are ours and our early testers'.

The Show Runs on the Owner's Plan

A production is provisioned once, by whoever created it, and billed to their account. Everyone invited onto that show works inside what the owner pays for. Somebody with an AD plan of their own who is invited onto a Company show opens Lodging and Transpo there, and their own plan decides nothing about it.

Tip: This is worth knowing before you buy anything. Upgrading your own account does not change a show somebody else owns.

Two Different Locks

A padlock means one of two things, and the difference decides who can fix it.

What You Reach
Set the plan the show runs on and the level you were invited at. The lock decisions come from the same function the app's feature wall calls.

Adds the money side: hot costs, burn rate, and pay data across the show.

Behind the plan
The show already has these. You were invited at AD level, so the money is withheld by the share choice. Ask Access sends the owner a note they can act on from the Share panel. It costs them nothing.
The show itself is not provisioned for these. Upgrading your own account changes nothing here, because the show is billed to its owner. Ask Plan emails them instead.

Asking the Owner

Both walls carry a button that sends the owner a note. Ask Access asks them to raise your level on this show, which costs nothing and takes them two clicks. Ask Plan tells them a member of their show ran into the plan. Neither one buys anything on your behalf.

Important: Requests are rate-limited to one per hour per feature. Asking three times does not make it arrive faster, and the owner sees the first one either way.

Financial Features Stay With the Grant

Hot costs, burn rate and pay data are always decided by the level a person was invited at. A Company plan does not open them for an AD-level member, and it is not meant to. Money is the one thing a share deliberately withholds.

Viewing as an AD

Producers can look at the show the way the floor sees it. Switch to View as AD and every producer surface disappears until you switch back. It only ever takes access away, so nobody can use it to reach something they do not hold.

Tip: Useful before sending. If the call sheet reads correctly with the money gone, it reads correctly for the crew.

Read-Only Accounts

AD Read Only and Producer Read Only sit at their base tier with writing removed. They exist for people who need to watch a show without touching it. An account in that state can open everything its tier carries and change none of it.
