Users and Permissions

EnaCast allows you to create multiple users for each station, with different access levels based on their role. Each user logs into the administration panel with their own credentials.

User Roles

There are two main roles in each station:

Role	Description	Permissions
Administrator	Full station management	All permissions: station settings, user management, programs, news, streaming, and analytics
Program editor	Editing of assigned programs	Edit episodes, trim audio, create news, and manage content for programs they have access to

Note

An editor user can only view and edit the programs that have been assigned to them. They cannot access the station’s general settings or other programs.

Group Administrator

If your station belongs to a station group, there is a third special role:

• Group administrator: has administration access to all stations in the group, not just their own

This role is useful for stations that share technical or editorial infrastructure.

Inviting a New User

1. Access the administration panel with an administrator account

2. Go to the users section in the administration menu

3. Create a new user by entering:

   • Username
   • Email address
   • Temporary password

4. Assign the role: check the “Station administrator” box if they should have full access, or leave it unchecked for editor access

5. Assign the programs the user will have access to (editors only)

6. Save the changes

Security best practice

Ask the new user to change the temporary password to their own on first login.

Assigning Programs to an Editor

An editor user can only work with programs that have been explicitly assigned to them. To assign programs:

1. Edit the editor user’s profile
2. In the “Program access” field, select the programs they should be able to edit
3. Save the changes

The user will see only the assigned programs in their panel, along with the corresponding episodes.

Deactivating a User

When a user no longer needs access to the station, you can deactivate them:

1. Edit the user’s profile
2. Uncheck the “Active” box
3. Save the changes

Caution

Deactivating a user prevents them from logging in but does not delete their action history. If the entire station is deactivated, all users for that station are automatically deactivated as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Many Users Can I Create?

There is no fixed user limit per station. You can create as many as you need.

Can an Editor Create New Programs?

No. Only administrators can create new programs. Editors can edit episodes and content for the programs assigned to them.

What Happens if a User Forgets Their Password?

An administrator can change the user’s password from the administration panel. The “Forgot my password” option on the login screen can also be used if the user has an email address configured.
