Definitions 

User - Any individual in Starship. A user can be associated to a partner.

Partner - A company that provides content or services to Netflix. Each partner may have multiple users.

Admin - A user with application privileges that allow them to grant access to that application to other users.

What is Starship?  

Starship is Netflix’s self-service onboarding and access utility. Each user in the Netflix partner ecosystem has their own profile which associates them with their respective Content, Fulfillment, or QC Partner.

My Account 

Upon signing in, you will land on your profile page. From here you can view the following:

• Roles: roles assigned to you and the Netflix applications those roles give you access to
• Starship Admin Privileges: This tab is present depending on permissions. Netflix applications and productions for which you have permission to grant access to other users
• Notifications: the default and custom Backlot notification emails you are set up to receive
• Application Metadata: application-specific options for those you have access to
• History: This tab is present depending on permissions. A log of all activity on your user account in Starship

Content partner users will have one or both of these roles under Application Roles:

• Master Content Partner Operations
• Content Partner Operations

Both of these roles grant the user access to the following:

• Source Management
• Download Sources
• QC Subtitle Reports
• Master QC Reports 

The Master Content Partner Operations role also has access to Backlot API keys.

Note: users with only the Master Content Partner Operations role will not receive any Backlot email notifications by default. To enable default notifications, the Content Partner Operations role must be added. 

Users can access their Backlot Notifications by clicking on the Notifications tab from their profile page.

See the Starship: Notifications User Guide for info on how to setup and use notifications.

Applications

The drop-down on this page will show a list of applications for which you are an admin. The list will be empty if you are not an admin on any applications.

Only application admins can grant permissions for that application to other users.
