Accounts

Playbooks supports the concept of accounts whereby an individual user can be associated with any number of teams and toggle in and out of those accounts seamlessly.


Philosophy

Unlike other platforms that might preserve your user when toggling into a shared account, Playbooks treats each account as an individual entity. That means, when you toggle into an account you become that account meaning you publish, comment, download, etc all on behalf of the team.


Settings

Whether acting as a user or a team, accounts are generally treated quite similar.

Hash Key

Every account comes with a unique hash key that is private to you and traceable via the Public Ledger.

Merchant

In order to receive transfers, every account comes with their own merchant powered by Stripe. You are responsible for this merchant and keeping it in good standing.

Subscription

Every account comes with a free subscription which allocates 10 credits on a monthly basis. To obtain more credits or to add seats, you will need to upgrade to a paid subscription.

Billing

Every account is responsible for their own billing.

Environment Variables

Add environment variables at the account-level for variables you use often across projects. These variables will get overridden by matching variables at the demo-level. Environment variables use E2E encryption and are added during deployment meaning they do not travel with the code. This makes them great for functional demonstrations where an API key is required however they might show up in your logs.

Private Files

Add private files at the account-level for files you use often across projects. These files will get overridden by matching files at the demo-level. Private files use E2E encryption and are added during deployment meaning they do not travel with the code. This makes them great for functional demonstrations where an API key is required however they might show up in your logs.

Referrals

As every account comes with their own referral code, so they can refer other users and obtain a subscription discount in return.
