i did a “try” for my rental as we rent it out sometimes as “24 channel” console, without taking out the input cards….

First you have to create the first password protected login (in my case the name is ADMIN) you`ll have to protect it with a password.
once this is done, you log in as admin and start creating “sub” accounts
the way you want, for example you can block output Routings and severeal other things i dont remeber now exactly coz i am not sitting at the console (home).
but basically i believe this is what you want

cheers

Yes, you can mostly do what you want here. Activate two guest users – ‘Interns’ and ‘Concert’. Apply a password to each, and make sure you have an Admin password too (Make sure you keep a record of these passwords in case they get forgotten). When you boot up the system it will display the User Login screen with the three users listed in the left hand window. Select the user you want and type in the required password.

Regarding the different show loading. You can’t change the Show per user but, more appropriately, you can get the system to automatically load a different Scene per user when they log in. As Administrator you can apply a ‘Statup Scene’ per user if you want. This loads when the user logs in. A Scene should be able to change everything you want for your users. It can reconfigure the strip layouts, change all parameters, names, colours, socket mapping, anything you want, and it will do it much quicker than loading a whole Show. By setting the User Permissions you can lock your two users out of recalling further Scenes or Shows.

Have a play with this powerful feature. Let me know if you need further help with this.
All the best,

Yes, if the current user, for example Admin, does not have a password set then the system will boot up as last used. In your required multi user situation the trick is to set a password for each user including yourself as Admin. That forces the system to boot up to the Login screen for password entry. This screen lets you change user too.
Hope that helps,

Hi Bryce.
The first thing is to think about using Scene recall rather than Show recall. In your case think of the ‘Show’ as being the configuration of your full installation encompassing all your user setups and venue requirements. Think of the ‘Scenes’ as being the individual setups for each user. A scene can recall most of what is recalled by a show. It does not of course include the the bus configuration but you should be able to set that up to cover your maximum user requirement without the need to change per user.

iLive does not load a new show per user. Instead the administrator can choose for a particular scene to load automatically on user login if required.

So in your case you would work with one show called ‘Arts Centre’ which lets you archive your entire setup. For your example you would store two scenes, one called ‘Theatre’, the other ‘Concert’. Go to UTILITY / Edit User Profiles and set up two users – ‘Admin’ and ‘Intern’. For each choose the relevant startup scene. Note that if you don’t set one then the system boots in the same condition you left it in at last power down.

The clever bit is what you put in your Scenes…

As Admin user you have access to everything. In fact you may not need a startup scene as you can go to the Scene Manager and recall any scene you want anyway. It may even be useful to log in to see the previous user’s settings which would otherwise have been overwritten if you had your own startup scene set, or they logged in again.

The ‘Intern’ user would log in with the ‘Concert’ scene automatically recalled. Because of the restricted permissions you have given them they would not be able to recall another scene or show or change the configuration. If you decided to give them access to just a selection of input channels, a few auxes for monitors, a couple effects and a single DCA to control the house level then you would configure just those items to the fader strips. The other channels, mixes, output patching and so on would be out of view and not accessible to that user. You would probably mute or reset all the ‘invisible’ channels and mixes so they are not audible while the logged in user is working.

For other users you could set up their permissions and store a scene with the layout appropriate for them.

This keeps things very simple for users such as your ‘Intern’. They don’t have to think about show or scene recall, and everything is laid out nicely for them across the strips, and parameters reset to their comfortable starting point.

At this stage of iLive firmware development it is not possible to allocate groups of scenes to individual users, but that will of course come in time. Hopefully the solution I have described above will be a good starting point for your application.
Let me know if you want more on this.
All the best,
Carey

Ok, certainly ideas for future iLive firmware…
Thanks for your thoughts on this.
