User Management

Administrators are able to create several users with different priorities. Settings from users with a higher priority are valued as more important then settings from users with lower priority. The users, created in Toolbox5, are imported automatically.

Normally, a technician should have more rights then a DJ, because a DJ is mostly not technical trained enough. On the other hand, of course a DJ should be able to control the functions he needs to set.

Click on the symbol in the tool bar to open the User Accounts window. The user accounts are shown and you can edit them and add new users. Alternatively, you can reach this window via the Administration menu.

Create and edit user accounts.

Common

Click on the button Add below the User Accounts list to create a new user. The command Remove deletes the currently selected user from the list. Use Copy to duplicate users and their settings. Imported Toolbox5 users can not be copied. Enter a login name for the user in the text box Username on the Common tab. Set a password for the user in the text box Password and enter it again in the text box Password again. You have to assign a new password to a copied user, since the password is not taken over. It is necessary to enter a 4-digit PIN only containing numbers for all users that should be able to login at the console. The account can be activated and deactivated by the check box User account enabled.

Note

The account of the super administrator can not be removed! Moreover, it is not possible to deactivate the account or to change the priority. Login name and password can be changed.

Also the Nobody account can not be removed and only a few settings are possible to adapt. Please find more information on this account in the Features section.

Important

All the passwords must differ from each other, because the system only compares the passwords and PINs respectively and not the usernames.

Furthermore, an imported user is not the Toolbox5 user itself, it is a copy of this user. That means the Toolbox5 user and the Operation Manager user are two different users with the same name and PIN. Conversely, changing the name and/or the PIN of an imported user does not influence the user created by the Toolbox5.

User Rights

Use the check box Administrator in the User Rights section to assign global administrative rights to an user or define the importance of the user by selecting the User Priority (1 = high priority, 10 = low priority).

Every workstation is assigned to a virtual mixer (see Workstations). It is possible to allow an user to work with all virtual mixers of a DHD system. Therefore, select the check box Override Mixer Association.

The Authorisation section shows the relationship between the currently selected user and the authorisation groups. These relations can not be changed for imported Toolbox5 users.

Features

For every user can be defined, which applications and features of the DHDOM he is allowed to use depending on the workstation he logged on. Basically, you can assign the desired rights to all workstations and afterwards it is possible to allow or deny special options for the use in conjunction with certain PCs. Or you only configure single workstations from the outset.

Proceed as follows to release the available features to users:

· Mark one or several users in the User Accounts list.

· Choose a workstation or the All Workstations tab in the Configured Features section.

· The right-handed list shows the Available Features. Drag'n'drop the features from the Available Features list to the Configured Features list to release them. The other way round, access to already released options can be denied. Alternatively, you can also use the arrow buttons between the lists to carry out these assignments.

If you assign a feature to all workstations and remove this feature for single workstations afterwards, on the All Workstations tab this feature is marked in the column Differences with the term Partially Denied. Vice versa, features that were assigned to single workstations only are marked with Partially Allowed.

The Available Features that can be released in detail:

· Snapshot Manager: Release of the Backups, Mixer Snapshots and Channel Snapshots tabs. Please note, that it is necessary to allow mixer and channel snapshot transfers between each virtual mixer and the DHD Operation Server. Hence you can find the Snapshot Manager entry again for each virtual mixer in the list.

· Monitoring: Release of the Monitoring Sources tab and the Quick Buttons.

· Scheduling: Release of the All Scheduled Tasks tab.

· Remote Control: All available Remote Control Views are listed and can be released.

· Features on <device>: This branch includes all settings that are related to a device. If there are several devices in the project, separate entries for each device are listed.

· DSP Control: All available Fixed Processings of the device are listed and can be released.

· Routing: All configured Matrices of the device are listed and can be released for routing.

· Scheduling: All configured Matrices of the device are listed and can be released for scheduling.

· Mixer: This branch includes all settings that are related to a virtual mixer. If a device contains several virtual mixers, separate entries for each virtual mixer are listed.

· DSP Control: All available Fader Channel Processings of the virtual mixer are listed and can be released.

· Snapshot Manager: Release of the Mixer and Channel Snapshot Transfer rights to allow snapshot transfers between the respective virtual mixer and the DHD Operation Server.

In the User Accounts list you can find a special account called Nobody. This account represents the situation that no user is logged in at the console and is only intended to make it possible to exchange snapshots between the device and the server PC without a user login. If the Nobody account is selected, only the Features tab is provided. Instead of the release of features to the available workstations, in this case the features can be assigned to the Console.

Console Options

If you activate the check box Allow Console Login, the user is able to login at the console. You need to reenter the password, because in this case the password must be a 4-digit PIN. Since the password is protected, it is not possible for the software to check the existing password, even if this is already an 4-digit PIN.

By using the Console Autolock function, you can determine if a user needs to log in again after a certain time. Select a predefined time duration from the pull-down menu (2, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes) or select Off to disable this function. Activate the check box Display Name on Console to display the name of the logged in user in all displays of the control modules.

Note

For imported Toolbox5 users, the settings of the Console Options tab are adopted from the Toolbox5 project and the function Allow Console Login is enabled. These settings can not be changed for imported users.

Press Apply to save your settings if you want to continue with the user configuration or press OK to save and close the User Accounts window. It is possible to undo all settings and reload the state you had saved last by pressing Cancel.
