Use a group when the work belongs to a roster.
A group is for work that should belong to more than one person. It can represent a band, a duo, a rotating roster, a production team, a choir, a dance act, a house band, or any other shared team that books and works together.
If the gig is really about one person, a personal gig may be enough. If the gig belongs to a band or roster, a group keeps the details attached to the people who share the work.
From first group to ready roster.
- Open Dashboard, then Groups.
- Choose Create Group.
- Add the group name, email, description, and specialties.
- Save the group.
- Invite the people who belong on the roster.
- Set the right roles for the people who should help manage the group.
- Use the group for shared gigs, Marketplace profiles, public profiles, and group communication when it fits the work.
Who needs a plan for group work.
Subscription needs depend on what someone is trying to do. The person who owns the group controls the subscription-backed group features. People who simply join the group do not need to buy a plan just to be on the roster.
| Action | Subscription guidance |
|---|---|
| Create your first group | You can create one group without a paid plan. This is useful for getting a roster started. |
| Use the full paid group workflow | Leader or Venture unlocks the fuller group workflow, such as paid group gig tools and deeper coordination features. |
| Own more than one group | Venture is the plan for owning and managing several groups from the same account. |
| Join a group | Regular members do not need their own subscription just to accept an invite and belong to a group. |
| Help manage a group as an admin | Admins do not need to be the subscriber just because they help manage the group. Paid access is tied to the group owner and the features being used. |
Simple rule: joining a group is open to invited members. Owning and expanding group workflows is where Leader or Venture matters.
Owners, admins, and regular members have different jobs.
Roles keep the group organized. Give management access to the people who should help run the group, and keep everyone else as regular members.
| Role | What it means | What that person can do |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | The person who controls the group at the highest level. The owner is the person the group belongs to in Gigditty. | Create and manage the group, manage members, use owner-level group tools, and transfer ownership to an admin when needed. |
| Admin | A trusted helper with management access. Admins are useful when more than one person helps run the band, act, or team. | Help manage group details, members, invitations, and group workflows that allow admin access. |
| Member | Someone who belongs to the group roster but does not manage the group. | Take part in group work, receive group gig invitations, and stay connected to the roster without changing group settings. |
Start with the details people will recognize.
The group profile should make sense to both members and people outside the group. Keep the name clear, the description helpful, and the specialties focused on what the group does together.
- Use a clear group name that people will recognize on invites and gig pages.
- Add a group email if there is a shared contact address for the band, act, or team.
- Write a short description that explains what the group is and what kind of work it does.
- Choose specialties that describe the group as a whole, not every skill every member has.
- Add a profile picture or logo when you have one, especially if the group will be shared publicly.
Invite people and choose the right role.
Once the group exists, invite the people who belong on the roster. A person can accept a group invitation and become a regular member without buying a subscription.
- Invite people who should be part of the roster.
- Use admin roles only for people you trust to help manage group details and membership.
- Keep regular members as members when they only need to receive invitations and participate.
- Review the roster before creating important group gigs so the right people are available to invite.
Admin access should be intentional. Admins can help manage the group, so choose people who understand the roster and can be trusted with group details.
What a group can help you organize.
Group gigs
A group can own gigs, which keeps the work organized around the band, act, or team instead of only one person.
Group invitations
Owners and admins can invite people to the roster. Invitees can accept and become regular members.
Marketplace and public profiles
A group can have profile details, specialties, media, links, and public-facing information when you want the group to be easier to understand or find.
Shared context
Members, admins, and owners can see group-related work in one place instead of passing every detail through separate messages.
Owners can hand the group to an admin.
Sometimes the person who started a group should not be the long-term owner. If the group owner needs to step back, they can transfer ownership to an admin member. The new owner gets the owner role, and the previous owner stays on the group as an admin.
Transfer ownership only when the new owner should control the group going forward. Gigditty asks for a clear confirmation before making that change.
