Users and Permissions

EnaCast allows you to create multiple users for each station, with different access levels based on their role. Each user signs in to EnaCast Studio, the management panel at studio.enacast.com, with their own credentials, and only sees the sections their role allows.

User Roles

There are two main roles in each station:

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

A news editor is a user with the Can edit news box ticked (their profile shows “News editor”). They manage the news of the whole station and, because what they publish is not tied to one program, they can also manage the regular sections of every program and the station’s people. A program editor can be a news editor too. Only users with this box ticked (and admins) see News in the sidebar.

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 Admin

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

• Group Admin: 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. The EnaCast team assigns it: if you need it, write to support.

Creating a New User

1. Sign in to EnaCast Studio with a station administrator account

2. In the sidebar, under Settings, open Users and click New User

3. Fill in the details:

   • Username
   • Email
   • First name and Last name
   • Password: a temporary password of at least 8 characters

4. Assign the role: under Admin Permissions, tick Radio Admin if they should have full access, or leave it unticked for editor access. Tick Can edit news if they should manage the station’s news

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

6. Click Create

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. In Settings → Users, click Edit on the user’s row
2. Under Program Access, tick the programs they should be able to edit (the search box filters the list by name)
3. Click Save

The user will see only the assigned programs in EnaCast Studio, along with the corresponding episodes.

Deactivating a User

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

1. In Settings → Users, click Edit on the user’s row
2. Untick Active user
3. Click Save

The list’s Status column then shows Inactive.

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.

To remove the user completely, click Delete on their row and confirm in the Delete user dialog. If you only want to cut off their access, deactivating is the better choice.

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?

They can recover it themselves: on the EnaCast Studio sign-in page, click Forgot your password?, type their account’s email and click Send Link. They receive an email with their username and a link that works once, for 60 minutes; there they choose the new password (at least 12 characters, not a common one and not found in data breaches) and click Save New Password. Any other open sessions are signed out.

An administrator can give them a new password: in Settings → Users, click Edit on their row, type the new one in Password and click Save (leaving the field blank keeps the current password).

Every user can change their own password at any time: click your avatar in the top right, open My profile and use Change password.
