Public profile

While Users are able manage to manage actual content, Profiles are designed for public presentation.

These are the “public faces” seen on radio station websites and show detail pages. Profiles provide information such as biographies, photos, and social links.

In most scenarios, a profile represents an actual system user and hence the two are linked. However, profiles offer additional flexibility:

  • One-time contributors: Use profiles for individuals who do not need system access, such as one-time show guests or external collaborators.

  • On-the-fly Assignment: You can add guests to a specific episode via the Contributors field in the episode details (see below).

  • Editorial team profile: Some shows do not have a dedicated user account for each host. In such cases, you can create a profile for the show itself and assign it to the show. An example for such profile is “Music editor team”.

Advanced profile management features are only available to program managers.
