Projects and Users

Projects

Use New Project to choose a location and define a name, code, and optional notes. Flowinator creates the pipeline folders automatically and remembers recently opened projects on the local workstation.

Use Select Project to open an existing Flowinator project. A valid project contains 00_Pipeline/Metadata/project.json.

Project Settings lets a Project Admin update the project name and notes, review its location, enable episode mode, and manage users.

Users

Users are local project records stored in 00_Pipeline/Metadata/users.json. They are not cloud accounts.

Role Permissions
Project Admin Manage project settings, users, roles, and all project items.
Artist Read and create production work; delete only items they own.

The first user of a project becomes a Project Admin. A project must always keep at least one Project Admin.

Example

  1. The admin creates MIRNAV and adds artists.
  2. An artist logs in before creating a workfile.
  3. New versions record the logged-in username, date, version number, and optional commit.
  4. The admin can review users and change roles from Project Settings.
