User Management

This is a detailed reference page. If you are just getting started, show your first image first.

Screen Moove has different User types, each allowing a varying level of access across the CMS for efficient collaboration.

Administrators are encouraged to assign Users to User Groups to determine what the Users should access within the CMS and share Folders with the User to control the interaction (View, Edit, Delete) of items contained within the Folder.

Creating Users

Users are created and managed by clicking Users under the Administration section of the main CMS menu.

• To add new Users, click on the Add User button

• Use the drop down to select the User Type

A User will only have access to the parts of the CMS assigned to the User Group they belong to as well as full editing rights to their own items and the ability to share those with other Users.

Some Users may need additional access rights in order to perform the correct tasks, such as a Group Admin, who in addition to having access to the parts of the CMS as assigned to the User Group they belong to, they will also get access to all items of all Users belonging to the User Group.

• Select from one of the pre-configured User Groups

These groups already have appropriate Features set so that common functions match the described role or create your own User Groups which would could then be selected from here.

Users are also assigned a dashboard which serves as a Homepage:

• The Status Dashboard is a high level view for Super Admin Users which shows information relating to Library and Bandwidth usage as well as Display Activity.
• The Icon Dashboard is the default User view and is intended as a launcher into other areas of the CMS.
• The Media Manager Dashboard gives an overview of the status of Library Media in the CMS.
• The Playlist Dashboard is only assigned to the Playlist Dashboard User Group which gives a restricted view of the CMS with a User only able to select specific Playlists to manage.

To make changes to a Users default homepage, use the row menu and select Edit, use the drop down menu for Homepage.

• Create a User Name and Password to share with the User for login credentials.
• Select Folders which need to be shared with the User so that they can have access items they need to fulfil their role from the start. Set a default folder to act as a Home Folder for the User.

Deleting Users

Deleting a User is irreversible and will remove all their owned items including; Media, Layouts and Schedules, even if these items are being used by other Users in the system. Reassign items to another User to make them the new owner of all the items currently owned by the User you wish to delete. Alternatively, use the Retired checkbox at the bottom of the Edit User form so that the items remain in use in the CMS.

Please ensure that the default user account named cms_admin is not modified or removed so that you can be assisted you with your CMS as and when required.
