Version 1.1: permissions without the groups
Grant talk and listen rights to a person directly, without building a group for one. Plus search across admin and a clearer view of what you're listening to.

Groups are the right tool when you’re wiring up a crew of thirty. They’re overkill when one camera op needs to hear one extra channel. Version 1.1 fixes that mismatch.
Permissions for one person
You can now grant talk and listen rights to a member directly, alongside the group-based permissions you already use. No more creating a group of one just to give somebody access to a single channel.
Groups still do the heavy lifting for the bulk of your crew. This is for the exceptions, and on a live show there are always exceptions.
Find people faster
Search has arrived across admin, along with some filtering improvements. Once a space grows past a couple of dozen members, scrolling stops being a viable way to find anybody.
Knowing what you’re on
A green border now marks the party line you’re listening to. It’s a small visual cue, and it answers the question people were previously answering by talking and finding out.
We’ve also made the buttons inside spaces bigger and easier to hit, given channels a subtler background when you aren’t listening to them, and fixed the column widths in the member and group lists.
Fixes
- Spaces with no party lines enabled no longer throw an error.
- Registering with an email address that’s already in use now gives you a clear message instead of a database error.
- Various improvements to how admins create spaces.
