User Permissions - Strand Lighting NEO User Manual

User's Manual

8. User Permissions

To control access to various parts of the software you can setup users and passwords from the "Edit User
Permissions" window.
Once a user has been added to the software the security feature will become active and require a login each time the
software starts. By default no users will exists in the system. An empty user list is the equivalent of turning off the
security feature.
NEO NOTES & TIPS: The software will not allow you to disable the "Edit Users" option if the selected user is the
last one with this privilege.
To create a new user click on the "Add User" button in the bottom left of the window. A new line will appear in the
grid above with the default name "New User". Once the user has been added you can edit the name, password and
define the security privileges.
Most of the security features center around allowing or denying access to the various windows within the software.
For example, if you would like to prevent a user from opening the "Cue List" window uncheck the option to the right
hand panel of the window. The "Record" privilege is a special option that can be used to prevent a user from
modifying the show while still providing access to windows like the "Show Runners" and "Channel" view.
By default a new user will have all privileges enabled. Use the "Uncheck All" to remove all access to the user. You
can then add access to the user as required.
Once you have setup a user in the software the security will become enabled. The next time you start the software you
will be asked to login with a username and password.
The user name will default to the last name used to login to the software and will automatically place the cursor into
the password field. Enter the password for the user and press the enter key or click "login" to proceed to the main
interface.
