Members and roles

rdio uses account-based sign-in. Station administrators manage who can access the control room.

Roles

The first account created during first-time setup is always an administrator.

Creating members

Administrators only:

1. Open Members in the sidebar.
2. Click New member.
3. Enter name, email, and a temporary password.
4. Save.

New members are created with the user role and mustChangePassword set. They must choose a new password on first sign-in.

First sign-in for new members

1. Open the web admin and go to Sign in.
2. Enter the email and temporary password provided by the administrator.
3. You are prompted to Choose a new password.
4. After changing the password, you reach the schedule view.

Until the password is changed, the member cannot use other parts of the app.

Changing roles

Administrators can promote a member to admin:

1. Open Members.
2. Click the settings icon next to a member.
3. Change the role and save.

You cannot demote or delete your own account from the Members view.

Deleting members

Administrators can delete other members (except themselves). Deleted members lose access immediately.

Non-admin access to Members

Users without the admin role who click Members see the Settings page instead. They can view station settings but cannot manage accounts.

Security notes

• Use strong passwords for administrator accounts.
• Rotate BETTER_AUTH_SECRET only with care; it invalidates existing sessions.
• List every web origin that calls the API in WEB_ORIGIN. See Environment variables.
