• Guest A Guest can use only the range of functionality permitted by the Administrator. Only one set of Guest settings is maintained inside the console. • User A User can use only the range of functionality permitted by the Administrator. User settings are saved internally or on a USB flash drive as user authentication keys. Multiple sets of user settings (up to ten in internal memory) can be saved, each with the desired user name. A User who has Power User privileges can create or edit user authentication keys with a specified user level. When a user logs in, the user settings for that user are applied. User settings include the following information. • Password (except for Guest) • User Level settings (except for Administrator) • Preferences • USER DEFINED keys • USER DEFINED knobs • Custom fader bank • MASTER fader Privileges for each user are as follows.

In the SETUP screen, press the PASSWORD CHANGE button. 3. In the keyboard window, enter the password in the NEW PASSWORD field, then enter the same password in the RE-ENTER PASSWORD field for verification, and finally press the OK button.

If the two passwords that were entered match, the Administrator password will be set. • For details on entering a password, refer to "Assigning a name" in the separate Owner's Manual. Creating a user authentication key You can create a user authentication key and save it on a USB flash drive or in the console's internal memory. A user authentication key can be created only by an Administrator or Power User. The user level is specified when the authentication key is created, but USER SETUP settings other than the user level (such as preferences and the USER DEFINED keys) will be carried over from the user who is currently logged-in. NOTE • You can store ten keys in the console's internal memory. • The file name of the user authentication key will be the current user name, and it will be created and saved in the root directory. 161 Reference Manual
