User Profile Manual Live-Assist

[atlantic]

Is it possible to create a user profile where they can only use the Manual Live-Assist? I can’t find this option in the Rights list. The scheduler must keep running — they should not be able to turn it off.

What do you mean by ‚only’ manual live assist?
To me, manual live assist means the moderator/DJ can manage the playlist manually, ie. add and (re)move tracks etc.
So no, there is no explicit user right for ‚manual live assist‘, but all other detailed rights to remove or add.
Doing live assist is no right by itself. It is a form how you operate your radio. But everyone might define or understand something different.

So please let me know, what exact user right for what feature are you missing in detail?

The problem is that some DJs are turning off Run Scheduler, instead of turning off Manual Live-Assist.
We use Manual Live-Assist when DJs are live on air, combined with Alternative Playlist Routing.

Use the "Allow Run Scheduler" right to disable changing exactly that state.
I.e. when disabled a user can not start or stop the 'Run Scheduler'.

However, that same right also controls the Manual Live-Assist function. I.e. a user without that right can also not change this mode.
The reason is very logical and simple, as when in Live-Assist mode, the AutoPlay mode is disabled. And when AutoPlay mode is disabled, any automatic playback is disabled - and as such, that Scheduler behavior is directly influenced, as a new playlist and program always needs AutoPlay turned On to work correctly. The same is the other way around, i.e. if someone tunes on 'Run Scheduler', it automatically disables the 'Manual Live-Assist' mode.

As such 'Run Scheduler' and 'Manual Live-Assist' needs the same right - which is the "Allow Run Scheduler" right.

You might notify or warn the user, if he disabled the Scheduler or even sends an eMail.
Use the Application.OnSchedulerStop event and e.g. execute the EXEC_SEND_EMAIL, SHOW_ALERT_WINDOW or SHOW_MESSAGE_BOX command.

Alternatively you can use a program event (e.g. On Program Stopping) to automatically tune on the Scheduler again (see the PROGRAM_SCHEDULER_ON command).
