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.

Open

The Admin User has two functionalities:

1. It defines the Access Rights and therefore which channels you can access.

2. It also defines which Multi Viewer Layouts can be used.

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:

1. Log the current User Out, (go to Just Control - Log Out "username" or press "alt-cmd-Q") or quit and start Just Control

2. The Log In window is shown - type in a new user name (and password) in the log in window.

3. A Warning will be shown that this User does not exist and if a new user should be added. Click Add.
