Account Setup FAQ

Answers to the most common questions about creating your Resolut account, verifying your identity, and configuring organization settings.

Everything you need to know about getting started on Resolut — from creating your account and building your organization profile to inviting your team and locking down access.


How do I create an account?

Go to app.resolut.io/signup and enter your email address. You'll receive a verification email — click the link to confirm your address, then set a password. From there, you'll be walked through organization setup automatically. The whole process takes about five minutes.

If you've been invited to join an existing organization, follow the link in the invitation email rather than signing up from the homepage. That flow will associate your new account with the correct organization automatically.


What organization types are available, and which one should I choose?

Resolut supports five organization types, each tailored to a different part of the music industry:

  • Label — For record labels managing master recordings, artist rosters, and distribution deals. Includes full recording asset management, neighboring rights tracking, and label copy tools.
  • Publisher — For music publishers managing composition rights, sync licensing, and PRO registrations. CWR export and composition-level rights splits are available here.
  • Distributor — For distribution companies managing content delivery on behalf of multiple clients. Includes multi-tenant catalog management and DDEX delivery infrastructure.
  • Artist / Independent — For self-releasing artists managing their own masters and compositions. A streamlined interface that covers the essentials without publisher-specific tooling.
  • Administrator — For rights administration companies handling both publishing and neighboring rights on behalf of clients. Combines label and publisher capabilities with multi-client portfolio views.

You can request a type change after setup by contacting support, but it's easier to get it right the first time — the onboarding flow and available features vary significantly between types.


What does identity verification involve, and why is it required?

Identity verification is required to access distribution features, sign agreements on behalf of your organization, and receive payouts. It exists because Resolut handles real money and legally binding rights transfers — we need to know who we're dealing with.

Verification happens at two levels:

Individual verification — Required for all account owners and billing contacts. You'll provide a government-issued photo ID (passport, national ID card, or driver's license) and a selfie for liveness matching. This is processed by our verification partner and typically completes within a few minutes, though it can take up to 24 hours.

Organization verification — Required for labels, publishers, and distributors. You'll provide business registration documents (certificate of incorporation, company registration number, or equivalent depending on your jurisdiction), plus proof of authorized signatory status if the account owner isn't a named director.

Verification is handled through a secure, encrypted flow — documents are not stored by Resolut after the verification decision is made.


What happens if my verification is rejected?

Don't panic — rejections are common and usually fixable. The most frequent reasons:

  • Document quality — Blurry images, partially cropped documents, or glare on ID cards. Re-submit with a clearer photo taken in good lighting.
  • Name mismatch — The name on your ID doesn't match the name on your account exactly. Update your account name to match your legal name, then re-submit.
  • Expired document — Your ID was expired at the time of submission. Use a current document.
  • Business document mismatch — The organization name or registration number doesn't match the business registry. Double-check you're using the official registered name, not a trading name.

You'll receive an email explaining which check failed. You can re-submit immediately. If you've re-submitted twice and still can't get through, contact support directly — there are edge cases (name changes after marriage, overseas incorporation, etc.) that need manual review.


How do I invite team members to my organization?

Go to Settings → Team and click Invite Member. Enter their email address and select the role you want to assign. They'll receive an invitation email with a link that's valid for 72 hours.

If they don't have a Resolut account yet, the invitation link will walk them through account creation and connect them to your organization in one flow. If they already have an account, clicking the link will add your organization to their workspace.

You can invite up to 50 members on standard plans. Enterprise plans have no seat limit. See your plan details under Settings → Billing.


What are the different roles, and what can each one do?

Resolut has three built-in roles:

Admin Full access to everything in the organization. Admins can:

  • Create, edit, and delete all assets, bundles, and rights profiles
  • Invite and remove team members, and change role assignments
  • Manage integrations and API keys
  • Access and modify billing settings
  • Sign agreements and authorize distributions
  • Export all reports and data

Member The standard working role for most team members. Members can:

  • Create and edit assets, bundles, and rights profiles (within their assigned catalog scope)
  • Run and export reports
  • View team members but not change roles
  • Use integrations but not create or delete API keys
  • Cannot access billing or distribution authorization

Viewer Read-only access. Viewers can browse the catalog, view rights information, and run reports but cannot create or modify any records. Useful for external stakeholders, auditors, or legal counsel who need visibility without write access.

Custom roles with granular permissions are available on Enterprise plans.


Can I change someone's role or remove them from the organization?

Yes. Go to Settings → Team, find the member in the list, and use the options menu to change their role or remove them. Role changes take effect immediately. When you remove a member, they lose access to the organization instantly — they'll still have their personal Resolut account, but won't be able to access your organization's data.

Only Admins can change roles or remove members. You cannot remove the organization owner from the team; the ownership must be transferred first (see Settings → Organization → Transfer Ownership).


Can I change my organization name or type after setup?

Name: Yes, organization display names can be changed at any time in Settings → Organization. Note that your organization's slug (the URL identifier) cannot be changed after initial setup.

Type: Organization type changes require a support request. We'll review your request and, if approved, manually migrate your settings and feature access. This usually takes 1–2 business days. Type changes don't affect your existing catalog data.

Legal/registered name: If your business has been renamed or restructured, you'll need to provide updated registration documents and go through a re-verification step. Contact support to start this process.


How do I choose the right plan, and can I change it later?

Plans are outlined during onboarding and on the pricing page. The main differentiators are catalog size (number of recordings and compositions), team seats, distribution volume, and access to advanced features like multi-territory rights management and API access.

You can upgrade your plan at any time from Settings → Billing — the change takes effect immediately and you're billed pro-rata for the remainder of the billing period. Downgrading works the same way but takes effect at the end of your current billing period.

If you're a larger operation and none of the listed plans fit your needs, contact us to discuss an Enterprise arrangement. We can accommodate custom catalog sizes, white-label requirements, and dedicated infrastructure.


How do I set up two-factor authentication?

Go to Settings → Security → Two-Factor Authentication and click Enable. Resolut uses TOTP (time-based one-time passwords) — you'll scan a QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, or any TOTP-compatible app), then enter a code to confirm the setup.

You'll also be given a set of backup codes — store these somewhere safe. They're single-use codes that let you recover access if you lose your authenticator device.

Organization Admins can require 2FA for all members under Settings → Security → Require 2FA. When this is enabled, any team member without 2FA configured will be prompted to set it up on their next login.


How do I create and manage API keys?

API keys are available on plans that include API access. Go to Settings → Integrations → API Keys and click Create Key. Give it a descriptive name (e.g., "Distribution pipeline - prod"), select the permission scope, and click Generate.

The full key value is shown exactly once — copy it immediately and store it in a secrets manager or environment variable. Resolut never shows the full key again after creation.

To rotate a key, create a new one, update it in your system, then delete the old one. There's no in-place rotation — create new, then delete old.

Keys can be scoped to specific operations (read-only, catalog write, distribution, reports) to follow the principle of least privilege.


How do I connect Resolut to external tools?

Resolut supports integrations with several external systems:

  • DSPs and distributors — Connect via the Integrations panel to enable direct delivery. Supported platforms are listed under Settings → Integrations.
  • PROs and collection societies — Configure CWR export destinations and, where supported, direct submission endpoints.
  • Accounting software — Export royalty reports in CSV or XLSX format compatible with most accounting platforms. Direct integrations with QuickBooks and Xero are available on Pro and Enterprise plans.
  • DAWs and studio tools — Use the Resolut API to push metadata directly from your production workflow.

Each integration has its own setup guide linked from the integrations panel. Most require an API key or OAuth authorization flow on the external platform's side.


I'm not receiving verification emails or invitation emails — what should I check?

First, check your spam or junk folder — transactional emails from noreply@resolut.io are occasionally filtered. Add that address to your safe senders list.

If the email genuinely isn't arriving, there are a few likely causes:

  • Your email domain has aggressive filtering that's silently dropping the messages (common with corporate Exchange/Outlook setups)
  • There's a typo in the email address on the account or invitation

For verification emails, you can trigger a resend from the login screen. For invitations, an Admin can resend or revoke and re-issue the invitation from Settings → Team.

If you're still having trouble after checking these, contact support with your email address and the approximate time you expected to receive the message. We can check delivery logs on our end.


How do I contact support?

  • In-app chat: Click the ? icon in the bottom-right corner of the app for live chat during business hours (Monday–Friday, 9am–6pm GMT).
  • Email: support@resolut.io — we aim to respond within one business day.
  • Help center: Browse articles and guides at help.resolut.io.

For urgent issues affecting distribution or rights registrations, mark your email subject line with [URGENT] and we'll prioritize it.
