Team Management

This section describes common team management workflows that can be automated or integrated using the Kitsu API.

Overview

Team management in Kitsu revolves around three core concepts:

• Studios – For multi-studio productions.
• Departments – Organizational units that group users by role or function (e.g. Animation, Lighting, Production).
• Users – Individuals who collaborate on projects and tasks.

The API allows developers to programmatically create and maintain these relationships to match their studio’s structure and production needs.

Managing Multi-Studio Contributions

Create a studio:

Creating and Managing Departments

Create a new department

Retrieve existing departments

Update department details as the production evolves

Remove or archive departments that are no longer in use

Inviting and Managing Users

Typical API use cases

• Bulk-inviting artists at the start of a project
• Integrating Kitsu with an external identity or HR system
• Managing freelancers or temporary contributors

Create a new user:

Invite a user using their email address:

Assign the user to one or more departments:

Assign the user to a studio:

Retrieve all persons listed in the database:

persons = gazu.person.all_persons()

Get a person by full name or login used on his desktop machine:

person = gazu.person.get_person_by_full_name("John Doe")
person = gazu.person.get_person_by_desktop_login("john.doe")

Deactivate or remove users when they leave the project:
