The Cygnus Music Label Management System (LMS) allows you to add multiple team members (users) to your account and to apply for additional labels under the same login. This gives you flexibility when collaborating with others and managing multiple imprints.
Adding New Users to Your Label
You can invite new team members to join your label with their own LMS access. Once added, you can assign permissions that control which areas of the system they can access (for example: accounts, analytics, distribution, neighbouring rights, payments).
How to add a new user:
- Log in to your Cygnus Music account (you’ll need your username, password, and 2FA code).
- Click on the label you want to add the user to.
- Go to Users.
- Click Add User and select New.
- Enter the user’s email address.
- The user will receive an email invitation to create their account.
- Once they’ve joined, you can assign permissions within User > Edit.
Important: If the email address is already associated with an existing Cygnus Music account, the system won’t create a new user. In this case, follow the steps for adding an existing user instead.
Adding Existing Users
If the person already has a Cygnus Music LMS account, you can add them to your label using their username.
How to add an existing user:
- Log in with your username, password, and 2FA code.
- Go to Distribution and select the relevant label.
- Select User from menu.
- Click Add User.
- Select Existing and enter the user’s username.
- The user will receive an invitation to join the label.
- Once accepted, you can assign or update their permissions.
User permissions can be changed at any time via Label Settings.
Adding Another Label to Your Account
If you run more than one label or want to operate a new imprint, you can apply to add an additional label under your existing Cygnus Music login.
How to add a new label:
- Log in to the LMS (username, password, and 2FA required).
- View the carousel on the homepage to select Add Label and apply.
- Complete and submit the new label application form.
- Once reviewed and approved, the new label will appear in your account.
- You can then add users and assign permissions to the new label as needed.
Managing User Permissions
After adding a user (new or existing), you can control what they can access within the LMS. Permissions are managed in Label Settings and may include access to:
- Distribution
- Accounts
- Payments
- Neighbouring Rights
- Analytics
This ensures each team member only sees the areas relevant to their role.
