Inviting Team Members to Your Sleeve Account

Inviting Team Members to Your Sleeve Account

Managing an artist career often involves more than just you. Bandmates, managers, producers, collaborators, labels... Sleeve makes it easy to bring your team on board. You can invite trusted people to help run your artist page, share the day-to-day work, and stay in the loop on what's happening with your fans.

Team is a paid Sleeve feature. It unlocks on Pro and above. See Pricing for details.

Why add team members

  • Bandmates... so the whole band can post, comment, and update releases (instead of one person being the bottleneck)
  • Managers... so they can handle posts, releases, fan messaging, and booking on your behalf
  • Producers and collaborators... so they can upload demos and tracks they've worked on, or attach stems as Extras
  • Label folk... so a label rep can manage releases and timing without you forwarding everything

No more sharing passwords, no more screenshots in Slack, no more "I forgot to upload the link." Everyone with team access logs in with their own account and works directly in your Sleeve dashboard.

How to invite someone

  1. Open your artist dashboard (open the Your Sleeve menu in the top-right, choose Manage).
  2. Click the Team tab.
  3. Click Invite someone in the top of the Team section.
  4. Enter the email address of the person you want to invite.
  5. Click Send invite.

The invitee gets an email with a link to accept. Once they accept (or sign up if they're new to Sleeve), they show up in your team list with their own login.

Tracking your team and invites

The Team tab has two views:

  • Team members... everyone who currently has access to your artist account. You see who they are and their revenue share percentage (more on splits below)
  • Invites... pending invitations that haven't been accepted yet. You can cancel a pending invite at any time

You can remove a team member from the Team members view by clicking the remove option next to their name. They lose access immediately.

Revenue shares (the percentage tracker)

The Team tab also includes a revenue share field for each team member. You assign a percentage to each person, and the percentages must add up to 100%. The owner (you) gets whatever's left after you allocate to others.

Important: These percentages are a record-keeping tool, not an automatic payout mechanism. Fan payments on Sleeve still go directly to your connected Stripe account... the artist's account, not split-routed at the Stripe level. The percentages here are how you and your team agree to divide things; the actual money movement happens outside Sleeve (a separate Stripe Connect setup, bank transfers, a shared spreadsheet, an accountant... whatever works for your team).

We kept splits out of the money flow on purpose so 100% of fan payments hit your bank account first. No platform cut, no automatic re-routing. Your team agreements stay between you and your team.

Important: team members have full access

When you invite someone to your team, they have full administrative access to your artist account. This means they can:

  • Upload, edit, and delete releases
  • Write, edit, and delete posts
  • Read and message your subscribers
  • Update your bio, social links, and profile settings
  • Manage memberships and tier settings
  • Invite or remove other team members

There's no fine-grained permission control (yet). Only the owner can remove team members, but any team member can do almost everything else the owner can.

Make sure you're inviting people you fully trust. A team member you've added can do anything you can do, including connect a different Stripe account or delete a release.

Best practices

  • Add people in stages, not all at once. Start with the one or two people who'll actually use the access. Add more as you go.
  • Remove access promptly. When a manager moves on, a producer's role wraps, or a label deal ends, remove them from the Team tab. The platform doesn't auto-clean.
  • Document the revenue share agreement somewhere outside Sleeve. A shared note, a signed split sheet, or a sentence in the band's group chat. The percentage tracker is a convenience, not a contract.
