Permissions
Overview
The GinormoTime multicast network protocol allows any Clients to join at any time, this simplifies adding new Client stations since only selecting the desired Server is required to join the group.
However GinormoTime allows remote control of almost all playback and editing functions, and these functions can be delegated to connected Clients using Permissions.
Assigning Permissions
Permissions Dialog
Hover over an icon for help
Assign permissions to clientsBy default, connected Clients are not granted any permissions. To assign permissions to connected clients, on the Server click the padlock icon below the timer. This opens the Permissions dialog.
Remembered Clients are shown in lowlight, currently-connected Clients are highlighted and also show the active username (this can help identify the correct client when the PC name might be unclear).
The available permissions are shown as icons with check boxes for each Client. You can hover over an icon to get a brief description of the permission.
To assign or unassign permissions, check the appropriate checkbox. The All permission grants full remote control of GinormoTime and implies all other permissions (permissions are marked with to indicate they are being granted by All).
Permission Groups
Each permission group grants access to specific functions in GinormoTime:
Playback
Like the name suggests, this permissions allows control of Playback functions in GinormoTime. This allows a station to trigger playback start and stop, select next and previous tracks, and set the master volume.
Shuttle
The Shuttle permission grants greater control of the playhead when in Edit mode, including seeking, scrubbing and repositioning the playhead, as well as pausing playback and selecting new tracks.
Playlist
This permission allows a remote station to modify playlist entries when using the internal media player. Note that synchronisation of the available audio files is required in order for Add operations to function reliably. Reordering and removing playlist entries works as you might expect.
Mark
This permission allows a remote station to add timeline marks (un-numbered cues) but doesn't grant any other timeline functionality. This permission is useful when a remote station wants to add new markers during playback to "record" precise cues.
Notes
The Notes permission allows remote editing of cue note text without granting access to any other editing functionality.
Edit
The Edit permission is the most powerful individual permission and grants access to all cue editing functionality, including creating, moving, deleting and modifying timeline cues and marks.
By its nature, this permission also affords all the functionality of the Mark and Notes permissions.
Client Permission Group Icons
Client Permissions Status DisplayWhen permissions are granted by the Server, the corresponding permission icons become highlighted on the Client station. If a Client attempts an action for which it is not granted permission, the appropriate permission group icon(s) will flash briefly to indicate why the action was denied.
Full Action List
Every delegate function is described by an Action ID. The full list of actions and the relevant permissions is shown below.
