We are currently using the Free Trial Version of mAirlist 7.3.6 and well get the licensed version. While im trying to get hands on practice with the trial version, I was looking for the below points:
feature/configuration for a role-based access for different role like a group who should be working on Playlist creation only, Operator have their own access only, Advertisement/Ad Sales features for Ad Sales Team.
how to live stream a podcast session.
Also, a solution for redundancy/failover in-case the main pc freeze or broke down a backup pc should take over for continuity.
That’s possible. Each mAirListDB database has a built-in user management.
Administrator Account
There is a fixed built-in administrator account, with username admin and default password admin. This user has unlimited permissions. The password can only be edited from the Maintenance tab in the database connection configuration.
Additional Users
Additional users can be set up from the user management dialog found in the Database app (Administration → Users and Groups). Note that you must be logged in as a user with administrative privileges (either the default admin user, or a custom user with admin level) to access this dialog. It will also only work when you are connected directly through SQL or the local database, not a DBServer remote connection.
To add a user account, click New in the dialog toolbar. Enter a login name and optional description, and choose a password (or use the auto-generated random one).
Make sure that Allow user to access this service is checked – the user database can also be used for access control for e.g. the REST remote, and this checkbox controls which user is allowed to use which application.
In the Edit Permissions dialog, the following settings are available:
First, choose one of the ascending User Levels:
Read-only: Read access only, cannot make any changes to the database.
Studio: Same as read-only, but with write access to the internal logging/history tables; this level should be assigned to studio accounts, so that they can record the played items for recording.
DJ: Same as Studio, plus permission to make changes to playlists and run scheduling; library is read-only.
VT DJ: Same as DJ, plus permission to upload voice tracks to the library.
Folder Manager: Same as VT DJ, plus permission to move items around in library folders (but not edit them).
Manager: Same as Folder Manager, plus full write access to the library.
Administrator: Same as Manager, plus unlimited access to all settings including administrative settings.
More fine-grained control is provided through the General Permissions and Library Permissions optios, which are enabled by default. For example, you can revoke a “Manager” user the right to delete items from the library.
Note that these checkboxes always revoke rights that would otherwise be granted by the assigned User Level. It is not possible to grant additional rights to a lower level user by using these checkboxes.
If you want to limited write access to playlists for a particular station (or sub-playlist) for a DJ (or above) user, use the Permitted Stations and Permitted Sub-Playlists field, respectively. Enter a comma-separated list of station/sub-playlist IDs.
On the Tokens tab, you see a list of tokens (one-time passwords) created by the user by sigining in from a mAirList instance (when using the Sign In function rather than storing user/password in the configuration). You can delete a token in order to revoke access from that instance.
Groups
User groups are managed on the Groups tab of the User Management dialog. Groups use the same set of possible permissions as users. When a user is a member of a group, the permissions of that group will be merged with the permissions set for that specific user.
Playout Access Restrictions
It’s also possible to prohibit some actions for standard users in the playout window:
You can set this in the system comfiguration of mAirList.
Isn’t a live streamed podcast session called RADIO? Maybe you can specify your question…
You can trigger many commands or mail send out etc. with the built-in silence detector.
If you are using a database and music stored on a network drive a backup pc can also access the database and files in case of emergency.
If you are not sure what editions you would need for your setup including playout, backup and management workstations, please reach out to sales@mairlist.com for a customized offer.
Here i mean, for example we have a playlist of pre-recorded content and wants to add a live event where the audio (from DAW audio) is in the same pc as mAirlist. Can you please advise how to proceed. thanks
Im confused with User and Group access, i’ve tried creating accounts with different levels under User and Groups however im getting an Äccess Denied error everytime i logged-in via the Login dropdown from mAirlist Main Playout screen. The only user that can login via the Login dropdown are the Manager and Administrator if i checked the option “Also Acceprt Database User Account”" Is there any other user/access management portal?
Maybe you can specify your question…
