> Note: if your Airtime server is accessible from the public Internet (ex. being hosted in a cloud VM)
it is recommended that you create a second administrator account with a secure password and then
delete the `admin` account, for best security practice.
> Note: if your Libretime server is accessible from the public Internet (ex. being hosted in a cloud VM)
it is strongly recommended to create a second administrator account with a secure password and then
delete the `admin` account.
## User Account Types
To add further user accounts to the system, one for each of your station staff that need access to Airtime, click the **New User** button with the plus icon. Enter a user name, password and contact details, and then select the **User Type** from the drop down menu, which can be *Admin*, *Program Manager*, *DJ*, or *Guest*. The difference between these user types is:
* Guests
- Can view shows and the playout log on the Calendar and Dashboard, respectively
- Listen to the output stream without leaving the interface
* DJs
- Everything Guests can do, plus
- Upload media (music, PSAs, underwriting, shows, etc.) to their own library (DJs cannot view other libraries)
- Edit metadata, delete, and schedule media in their own library to shows they are assigned to
- Preview uploaded media _without_ affecting the live playout
- Create Playlists, Smart Blocks, and connect Podcasts and Webstreams to LibreTime
- Publish media items to LibreTime's built-in My Podcast function or 3rd party sources such as Soundcloud
* Program Managers
- Everything DJs can do, plus
- Manage other users' libraries in addition to their own
- Create, edit, and delete color-coded shows on the Calender and assign them to DJs (if needed)
- Shows can be scheduled to repeat, with the option of linking content between the shows (helpful if a DJ livestreams in each week)
- View listener statistics
- Export playout logs for analysis or reporting for music royalties
* Administrators
- Everything Program Managers can do, plus
- Manage all user accounts, including the ability to reset passwords
- Configure Track Types for easy sorting of uploaded content
- Change system settings

New user accounts that you add will be shown in the table on the left side of the **Users** page. If you have a
large number of users on the system, you can use the search tool above the table (which has a magnifying glass icon)
