USER SETTINGS (SECURITY)
This chapter explains the User Level settings that allow restrictions on the parameters that can be operated by each user, the
Console Lock function that temporarily disables operation of the console, the Preferences settings that allow the operating
environment to be customized, and Save/Load operations using USB memory.
User Level settings allow you to restrict the parameters that be operated by each user, or to change the settings of the
custom fader layer, user-defi ned keys, and preference settings for each user. Settings for each user can be stored as a “user
authentication key” on USB memory, allowing users to be switched easily, simply by connecting the memory device to a USB
connector. This is convenient in the following situations.
• Unintended or mistaken operation can be prevented.
• The range of functionality operable by an outside engineer (guest engineer) can be limited.
• In situations in which multiple operators alternate with each other, output settings etc. can be locked to prevent
unintended operations.
• Preferences of each operator can easily be switched.
There are three types of user, as follows. In order to operate the LS9, you must log-in as some type of user.
• Administrator
This is the administrator of the LS9, and can use all of its functionality. Only one set of Administrator settings is internally
maintained in the console. The Administrator can create user authentication keys for other users.
• Guest
A User can use only the range of functionality permitted by the Administrator. Only one set of Guest settings is internally
maintained in the console.
• User
A User can use only the range of functionality permitted by the Administrator. User settings are saved on USB memory
as a user authentication key. Multiple sets of User settings can be saved with different user names. Custom fader layer,
user-defi ned key, and preference settings can be edited, and these settings stored in the user authentication key.
In addition, a User who has Power User privileges can create or edit user authentication keys with a specifi ed user level.
When a user logs on, the user settings for that user are applied. User settings include the following information.
• Password (except for Guest)
• User level (except for Administrator)
• Preferences
• User-defi ned keys
Privileges for each user are as follows.
