A platform for documenting artists required a precise separation between the public archive, editorial rights, and user accounts — with moderation at every step to keep the integrity of each record intact.
A system was designed in which the archival record and user account are two separate entities. Every edit request goes through admin approval before being applied — the live record remains unchanged until the editorial team confirms.
The platform is live with a complete archival system, member access, library, and community. The editorial team independently manages content through the admin panel without technical assistance.
An Entry is an archival record of an artist — it can be submitted by a guest without registration. An Account is a user profile. Connecting the two requires a separate request that the editorial team approves — only then can the artist edit their own record.
After linking their account to their entry, the artist can propose changes — a new photo, contact, or thought. The editorial team reviews the proposal and approves it before it becomes visible on the platform.
A project of this type — with a layered user system, moderation, and content library — requires an engagement defined according to the specific project scope. Contact us at hello@pinnaflow.com for an estimate.
