DJ Management

DJs are now managed from within the Web User Interface (Web UI) from under the Settings Tab.

There are two different permission levels when referring to SAM Broadcaster Cloud DJs, Service Level Permissions which apply to all stations belonging to the service and will therefore change the permissions for all stations and Station Level Permissions which only apply to the station currently being managed.  Service Level Permissions can be applied or modified when logged in to any station under the service but you must be logged in to the required station to apply or modify Station Level Permissions.

Should you need to remove a DJ’s permissions, simply click the corresponding Remove button and click either Apply Permissions or Apply Permissions for All Stations, depending on the permissions level you wish to remove.

Service Level DJ Permissions

The following permissions can be applied at the service level and it should be noted that assigning any of these permissions to any DJ will also permit them to log into the SAM Broadcaster Cloud service and therefore, they will have the same permissions across all stations:

Permission	Description
All	All permissions are applied
Edit Metadata	DJ can view the library and edit media Metadata like Title, Artist, Album etc.
Import Media	DJ can import media (songs etc.) into your station's library
Remove Media	DJ can delete media (songs etc.) from your station's library
Admin Playlist*	DJ can manage your playlists. (Create Playlist, Rename Playlist or Delete Playlist)
Edit Playlists	DJ can edit your current playlists. (Adding items to playlist, removing items or moving items around)

_{* Assigning this permission automatically includes the ‘Edit Playlists’ permission}

Station Level DJ Permissions

The following permissions can be applied at the station level and it should be noted that assigning any of these permissions to any DJ will also permit them to log into the specific SAM Broadcaster Cloud station but different permissions can be applied to the same DJ but for different stations:

Permission	Description
All	DJ will be assigned all station level permissions
Access	DJ will be able to log into SAM Broadcaster Cloud
Scheduled Events*	DJ will be able to manage your scheduled events
Rotation Rules	DJ will be able to manage your rotation rules (Playblocks, Separation Rules, Active Playblock)
Queue	DJ will be able to manage the station queue
Start/Stop	DJ will be able to start and stop the station
Skip Track	DJ will be able to skip the currently playing track
History Export	DJ will be able to generate and download the History Report
Live Streaming	DJ will be able to stream live with SAM Broadcaster Live-DJ.  This generates a user zone for each DJ which includes SAM Broadcaster Live-DJ and license

_{* Assigning this permission automatically includes the "Rotation Rules", "Queue" and "Start/Stop" permissions}

Apart from the Live Streaming permission, all other permissions relate only to the SAM Broadcaster Cloud service

Each SAM Broadcaster Cloud service includes at least five additional DJs whilst more can be purchased as necessary from the Services Tab within the User Zone.  Assigning a DJ License to a new DJ can be achieved by clicking the Add DJ button shown as item 14 in the previous image.  This will display the Add User window.  Simply enter the email address, first name and surname of your DJ and click OK.

 

 

The email address field has a character limit of 100 characters whilst both the first name and surname text boxes have a character limit of 255.

 

If the email address already exists then the following error message is displayed:

 

Removing a DJ

Removing a DJ is simple and can be achieved by clicking the X shown as item 8 in the earlier image.  You will be prompted to confirm whether you wish to remove the DJ from the current station or from the service.
