# The Users page
|
|
|
|
> 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.
|
|
|
|
## Adding user accounts
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
## Editing or deleting user accounts
|
|
|
|
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)
|
|
to identify specific user accounts. Click the white chevrons in the table headings to sort the search results
|
|
by **Username**, **First Name**, **Last Name** or **User Type**.
|
|
|
|
To edit a user account, click on that user's row in the table, change the user's details in the box on the
|
|
right side, and then click the **Save** button. To remove a user account, click the small **x** icon to the right
|
|
side of its row in the table. You cannot delete your own user account, and usernames cannot be changed once created.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Users can update their own password, and their contact, language and time zone details, by clicking their username on the
|
|
right side of the main menu bar, next to the **Logout** link.
