Each SignStix user is assigned a ‘role’, and each role contains a number of ‘permissions’.

The Permissions

The permissions and their meanings in the system are as follows:

– Content Viewer: Browsing signs etc.
– Writer: Creating signs, editing playlists, sequences, schedules, etc.
– Approver: Approving videos in Director and publishing signs in Creator.
– Deployer: Ability to press the ‘Deploy Content’ button.
– Assigner: Ability to assign signage and other content to zones.
– Admin: Adding/removing users and changing roles and permissions.
– Locker: Ability to lock a sign in Creator (preventing others from changing certain aspects).
– Commander: Ability to use the SignStix Commander app to switch the content for particular location.
– Device Viewer: Ability to view devices in Device Admin, get diagnostics and screenshots.
– Device Manager: Ability to register new devices, change device settings, reboot devices, etc

Changing Users’ Access Rights

By default there is only one role in a new SignStix account – ‘Full’ – which gives unrestricted access to the account. You can restrict a user’s access rights by either:

– Assigning the user a role that has different permissions (creating a new role first if necessary).
– Alter the permissions of the user’s current role (bearing in mind that this will affect all users with that role).
