Teams for authors who work with a publisher

If you’re an author who works with a publisher, you need to be invited to Spotify for Authors by your publisher. Ask them for an invite.

If you work with more than one publisher, you need to be invited by each one to get full access to your whole catalog.

Note: Access to certain features may rely on permission from your publisher(s).

Teams for publishers

Publisher teams are for employees at the publisher to easily view and manage their whole catalog, without the need to join every author team individually.

Admins of publisher teams can invite other employees to join their team.
