	Payees
Type	Distribution Payees	Royalty-only Payees
Logic	Royalty recipients who are involved in/responsible for creating and distributing Assets	Royalty recipients who are NOT involved in/responsible for creating and distributing Assets
Permissions	Edit Catalog and perform Distribution View Transactions View Revenue and Daily Trends Analytics Add team members	View Catalog View Distribution View Transactions View Revenue Analytics NO Edit permissions Can NOT add team members
UX/UI	Client/Child Account	Payee Portal
Created by	Signing up a Client/Child Account through sign-up page	- Adding a Payee to a New/Existing Contract in the UI (Rights > Contracts) - Client/Child Account adds Payee through Track Splits (this will create a Track/Release level Contract)

** You can also set up Commission Payees. A commission payee is someone whose Share % is taken from the distribution fee (your cut of the contract) instead of being taken from the royalties (the cut belonging to regular payees).
