Once you have your Planning & Resources extension add-on activated, you can go to User Roles to set up which permissions are allowed on that specific role. By default, the Administrator team will have the ability to Edit anything on this module.
When adding a Session, you can add a specific user as the Producer. But first, you will need to enable this skill on that user account.
Note:
Producer skill is optional, as long as you have the correct set up in the User role, you can still access Planning & Resources.
Adding a Producer skill, however, will provide the visibility for the team and you will eventually be able to filter by Assigned Producer.

Sessions
Sessions allow you to assign Production tasks, Users, and Set Locations to a dedicated time frame. This gives your studio the ability to plan and view its production schedule in one place.
On the left side, under the calendar, you can filter your Sessions based on your studio’s available Production Types.
On the right side, all of the existing sessions will appear here. These session cards will be placed in the order of their beginning time slots. You can drag the session to a different day and slot.
When you select a session, the session slide-in will appear from the right-hand side. From here, there are two tabs: overview and production. Under ‘production’, you can add or remove production tasks, and see the detailed status of each product in this session. Under ‘overview’, you will see the following details for each session:
