User Types And User Authentication Keys; Setting The Administrator Password; Creating A User Authentication Key - Yamaha CL5 Reference Manual

User types and user authentication keys

There are three types of user, as follows. To operate the CL series console, you must log-in
as a user.
• Administrator ...... The administrator of the CL console 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 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
• Assignable encoders

2. In the SETUP screen, press the PASSWORD CHANGE button.

finally press the OK button.

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 can be specified when the authentication key is created, but the USER
DEFINED key settings and preference settings will be carried over from the user who is
-
currently logged-in.

Available
location will be specified as the root directory.
