- From the dropdown menu below the input field, select the role you wish to assign to the selected user in this studio.
Info: Studio roles
There are currently two types of roles you can assign to a collaborator on a studio level:
- Admin: This gives the collaborator full administrative access to the entire studio. They can add and remove other collaborators as well as create and delete projects.
- User: This grants basic priviledges to only access projects they have been added to.
To add collaborators to a project, check out Adding Collaborators to your project.
The desktop application
This interface lets you access, share, and manage all your project files locally on your computer.
- Install the Clustta desktop app from the the Apple(Coming Soon) or Microsoft Store.
- If you've already created an account, log in with your details.
After logging in, you will be directed to a Personal studio with no projects.

This is the default studio every Clustta user will have. It is your personal space and every work you do here remains locally on your computer.
If you have access to another studio - whether created by yourself or you were added by another person, you can switch.
