User Profiles
Up to 8 User Profiles can be set to restrict operator access and protect selected functions.
The Admin user (Administrator) has access to all functions and can set permissions and allocate passwords if required for the other users. Up to 7 guest Users may be set up.
The password, if one is set, is required when the user logs on at the Surface, Editor, MixPad or Tweak application. Permissions affect these in different ways. See more on this below.
To set user profiles
Use the Surface UTILITY / Configuration / Edit User Profiles screen or Editor Setup menu. Select a User button. Use the onscreen keypad to enter a user Name and add a Comment. Set a Password if required. Touch Set Permissions to enable or disable access to certain functions. A list of functions is presented. A description of each is shown in the Detail box.
You can also assign a User Scene which will recall automatically when a different user logs on. Select No User Scene if none is required.
Note - The User Scene is only recalled when the User is changed, not when the same user logs on again.
Note - The User Scene affects only Surface log on and is not recalled when the User is changed at Editor, MixPad, Tweak or OneMix.
Activate any User accounts you want to appear in the log on screen.
Note - Only set passwords if you really need to. Make sure you keep a log of all passwords allocated. Clearing passwords requires resetting internal jumpers and clearing the memories.
To log in as a different user
You can change user at any time by going to the Surface UTILITY / Configuration screen or Editor File menu and selecting the Change User button. You can also change User at the Logon screen if a password has been set.
If a password has been set then you are prompted to enter it when you turn the system on or lock or unlock the Surface.
Note - If a User Scene has been set for a user then this will be recalled when the User is changed. This will overwrite console settings.
Editor, MixPad and OneMix
Available Users will appear in the Logon screen for these applications. If no User accounts have been activated then just 'Admin' will appear. If a password has been set for the selected User then this must be entered. Permissions affect each app in the following way:
Editor - Permissions apply.
MixPad - Permissions do not apply. The user will have access to all mixing functions available within MixPad.
OneMix- Permissions do not apply. However, OneMix can only be configured when the user has logged on as 'Admin'. Logging on as any other User allows control but not configuration. Therefore it is typical for a password to be applied to the Admin account to prevent musicians changing their OneMix settings.
Tip - Password protect your iLive Admin account and create a User called 'OneMix' to make it obvious which profile the musician should log on to.
