6.5.30.4 Policies, Departments
Policies
A set of eight policies is available per default. Policy no. 1 (“Admin”) grants
access to all parameters and is normally assigned to the system administra-
tor only; it may, however, be assigned to other users as well, if required. The
maximum number of policies is 16 (unless central user management is oper-
ated from an extra computer, in which case the maximum number of policies
is 255); it is dened in the user.xml le.
The default setting for the policies no. 2...8 grants access to most of the con-
sole parameters, except from some typical administrator-only settings, such
as fader calibration, date/time settings, console conguration, or screen cali-
bration. The screen above shows a part of the congurable functions, such as
Chan::Input (channel – input parameters), Chan::DeEs (channel – de-
esser parameters). Grant is displayed for a function if at least one parameter
or one parameter group of this function is set to Grant in the parameter groups
page shown below.
Access to the different parameter groups can be granted (Grant) or denied
(Deny). If denied, the main screen buttons corresponding to that parameter
or parameter group are blanked. For details on the parameters contained in
the parameter groups please refer to chapter 5.10.7.
