Labels and rosters

Sonifide's Label tier ($99/mo) lets a workspace manage multiple artists instead of a single solo profile. Each artist has their own metadata, releases, registrations, EPK, and so on — but the label admin can view, edit, and file on their behalf.

Signing an artist

From /roster, click + Sign Artist. The modal collects:

• Legal name (required)
• Stage / performance name
• Primary genre
• PRO affiliation (BMI / ASCAP / SESAC)
• IPI (optional)
• Short bio (optional)

The new artist appears as a card on the roster grid with ACTIVE / DRAFT / RELEASED status derived from their releases.

Viewing as an artist

Click any roster card → enters that artist's workspace context. The dashboard, metadata, splits, registrations, EPK all flip to show only that artist's data. A red VIEWING AS [name] banner sits at the top with a ← Label View link to bounce back.

Behind the scenes Sonifide stores the active artist ID in browser localStorage and sends X-Active-Artist: {id} on every API call. The backend middleware validates the artist belongs to your workspace before scoping queries.

Granting login access to an artist

Hover any roster card → click + Grant Login. Enter the artist's email and (optionally) a temp password. Sonifide creates a scoped user account:

• Lives in your label's workspace
• Auto-scoped to that artist (they can never see other roster artists)
• No Roster link in their sidebar — they only see their own workspace
• No "Viewing As" banner (they ARE the artist)

The modal shows the credentials once — copy them to send via secure channel (Resend emails them too if configured). Sonifide stores the password hashed; there's no way to retrieve it again.

Removing an artist

Hover any artist card → × Drop at the bottom-left. Confirmation dialog quotes the count of releases that will be cascade-deleted. If you're currently viewing as that artist, you're auto-exited to the roster.

Why scoped artists are safer

If a label relationship ends, the artist user account stays but can be deactivated. The artist's data export still works (scoped to only their own artist's data — see Data Export) so they can take their catalog and start fresh elsewhere. Sonifide explicitly does NOT lock artists into label workspaces.
