Manage Permissions

Every page on Sway (artist, promoter, venue or event) has a team of users with different permission levels. As an Administrator, you control who can access and modify the page.

Permission levels

How to access the team management screen

There are two ways to open the team management screen for any page:

From the page directly:

1. Navigate to the entity page.
2. Tap the edit icon (✏️) in the top-right corner.
3. On the edit screen, tap Manage Team.

From Settings:

1. Open Settings → Manage.
2. Find the page you want to manage.
3. Tap the shield icon next to it.

Inviting a team member

1. Open the team management screen for the page.
2. Search for a Sway user by username.
3. Select the user from the results.
4. Choose a permission level: User, Manager or Admin.
5. Confirm to send the invitation.

The user will have immediate access to the page at the assigned permission level.

Changing or removing a member

1. Open the team management screen.
2. Find the user in the member list.
3. Tap their entry to change their permission level, or tap Remove to revoke access.

Share Promoter Permissions (events)

By default, permissions granted on a promoter are automatically shared with all events created by that promoter. This means any team member you add to a promoter will also have access to its events.

To disable this behaviour:

1. Navigate to the promoter page and tap the edit icon.
2. On the edit screen, tap the shield icon to open the permissions settings.
3. Tap the gear icon.
4. Disable "Share Promoter Permissions".

Administrator transfer

An entity can have multiple administrators at the same time — there is no single "owner" restriction.

To transfer control and step down as admin, use the following approach:

1. Invite the other person and set their role to Admin.
2. Once they have accepted, go back to the team member list and remove your own permissions.
