Manual:Administration:Users

User management
Using the management interface in the Xibo server, it is possible to allow users to have different roles. For example, we could allow an administrator user to control the scheduling of layouts and manage the screens, but not allow any editing of layouts.

User groups
The user groups function allows the administrator user to control access to layouts and menus to a group of users.

Consider the following situation:

Layouts

Reception

Sixth Form

Users

Dave

Bob

Alan

Jane

We require Alan and Bob to be able to edit the Reception Layout, and Dave and Jane to be able to edit the Sixth Form layout, and control the scheduling of it.

To allow this we would need to do the following


 * Create the Users


 * Create the groups


 * Assign the privileges to the groups


 * Assign the users to the groups


 * Create the layout while signed in as a member of each of the groups
