Server Software
TOKEN = VALUE
Do not change the TOKEN names. If you do, an error (‘User file token is invalid’) will appear in the
status log every time that user logs in. You can change the VALUE however. If you leave the value
blank, the existing value for that token in the console will be used; a blank password means that none
needs be entered.
It is recommended that all users’ access rights are explicitly set, to avoid inheriting too many or too few
rights from the previous logged-in user. To find out what user setup values are used in the file,
experiment by saving user setup when logging out, and look at the file each time.
Configuring Access Rights
Each user’s access rights are defined in their user file. This example shows all access rights enabled;
to disable any one, replace the 1 with a 0:
acc_record = 1 Can record from Live.
acc_patch_fix = 1 Can patch new fixtures (requires Tracker).
acc_spec_grps = 1 Can change special groups (display, partition, etc).
acc_stp_user = 1 Can change User Setup.
acc_stp_show = 1 Can change Show Setup.
acc_stp_cons = 1 Can change Console Setup.
acc_cons_mode = 1 Can change console mode at the login display.
acc_printer = 1 Can use the printer.
acc_show_loc = 1 Can save or delete shows on local disk drives.
acc_show_svr = 1 Can save or delete shows on the server disk drives.
acc_chan_ctrl = 1 Can use channel control to set levels.
acc_playback = 1 Can run cues on the X playbacks.
Console Access Rights
Each console as well as each user has a login configuration file. This allows physical consoles to have
particular rights, irrespective of who logs in. For example, a designer’s console may have all channel
control disabled.
Console files are in the same format as .USR files: they are called .CON files instead. The name
should match the ShowNet node name defined in the 220NODE.CFG file. The console called MAIN
will need a file called MAIN.CON. A default file is installed with the operating software to act as a
template: its name is CONSOLE.CON. This file is used if no specific .CON files are created. You can
create a .CON file for each console and PC by copying CONSOLE.NEW, which is created with the
software.
