Every time you start Just Control, the log in window is shown, 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:

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

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

If the user you logged in is able 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 another 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 username (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.

Administrating and Deleting existing Admin User

You must unlock the Just Control Preferences window to make changes.

  1. Click on the User to highlight it and press the delete button on your keyboard to delete the selected user.

  2. A warning will be shown which asks to remove the selected User. Click Remove.
