Every time you start Just Control, the log in window is presented asking for a Username (and a Password). This means, that the ability to start Just Control depends on the availability of a User.
The Admin User has two functionalities:
It defines the Access Rights and therefore which channels you can access.
It also defines which Multi Viewer Layouts can be used.
If the user you logged in has the ability to access a certain channel and if he can make changes (read and write) or only watch the channel (read only) is defined per just:live and just:play user interface, using the Just Control Configuration window.
Adding a new Admin User
The first time you started Just Control you defined an administrator user as part of the Configuration Wizard. This user has been added to the system as Just Control Admin User as well as a User to your playout channel with read and write access rights.
To add an additional admin user please do the following:
Log the current User Out, (go to Just Control - Log Out "username" or press "alt-cmd-Q") or quit and start Just Control
The Log In window is shown - type in a new user name (and password) in the log in window.
A Warning will be shown that this User does not exist and if a new user should be added. Click Add.
Administrating existing Admin Users
You must unlock the Just Control Preferences window to make changes.
Once you are logged in and one of the User Interfaces is shown, you can administrate existing Admin Users in the Just Control Preferences. Press cmd-, to open the Just Control Preferences and activate the Users tab.
Deleting an existing Admin User
Click on the User to highlight him and press the delete button on your keyboard to delete the selected user.
A warning will be shown which asks to remove the selected User. Click Remove.
You can not delete the user which is currently logged in.
To add/change the password of an existing User
Click on the User to highlight him and then click the button "Change Password".
Type in a password to add/change the password to the selected User. Click Set.
To remove a Multi Viewer Layout from an existing User
Click on the User to highlight him and then press the delete button on your keyboard to delete the Layout from the selected user.
A warning will be shown which asks to remove the selected Layout. Click Remove.
You can not delete a Layout in case it is currently active or the only Layout of the selected user.
To generate a new Multi Viewer Layout for a user
Make sure you are logged in with the User you would like to generate a new Interface Layout for.
Close the Just Control Preferences window in case it is opened, so that the Multi Viewer Interface is shown.
Adjust the Viewer(s) in the Multi Viewer Interface so, that it shows the layout you would like to save.
Select "New Multi Viewer Layout Template" under the menu VIEW, or press "alt-shift-cmd-T".
Type in the name you would like to use for the new Layout. Click Create.
.
The MultiViewer Layout includes the number of viewers, their position and the channel they belong to.
Administrating just:live and justPlay Interface Users
In addition to the Admin user described above, there are also one or several just:live or just:play interface Users. Those Users define the access rights for the channel they belong to.
Before proceeding you must stop the channel by deactivating the checkbox in front of it. Stopping the channel will also stop the Just Out engine and therefore the final output.
Using the Channel Wizard a user with Read/Write access is generated automatically. This user can be handled like described in this chapter.
