Applies toBandArtist profileRequiresContributor or higher to edit; Admin for images and public bio language

Profile contains the band’s display name, images, biographies, social handles, links, booking information, members and accolades. You read and edit the profile here. The same page is available for an artist profile, with the differences described below.

Open Profile

  1. In the side menu, under Overview, select Profile.

Every member can read the page. Contributor or higher can edit the display name, biographies, socials, links and bookings, and manage the band roster and accolades. A Reader sees the profile without edit controls. Uploading the profile images and choosing the public biography language require Admin.

Each card or tab has its own Edit control where applicable. Done returns that part to its reading view.
