For info, I had contacted A&H presales to ask about the user security features on the GLD-80 and here is the response:
It is possible to set up to 8 password-protected User Profiles, and set different permissions for each one. This is a preliminary list of features or settings that you can deny access to:
SETUP
-
Utility screen
-
Configuration (bus architecture etc)
-
Control Setup (strip layout)
-
Rotary functions
-
Sel buttons
-
Mix buttons
-
Audio Settings (e.g. sync from I/O module)
MEMORIES
-
Show Manager
-
Library Manager
ROUTING
-
Input Patchbay
-
Output & FX Patchbay
CHANNEL
-
Name/colour
-
Preamp
-
PEQ
-
GEQ (outputs only)
-
Dynamics
-
Delay
-
Gang
-
DCA assignment
Unfortunately it’s not possible to apply a permission to a range of channels only.
The preliminary User Guide will be updated shortly to include this information following the release of the V1.0 software.
As with iLive, you can assign a default Scene to each user (not a Show). The user scene gets recalled every time there is a user change.
So if you log in as user ‘Operator’, and you were previously logged in as ‘Admin’, the ‘Operator’ default scene is recalled.
