The permissions you assign to different types of presenters should reflect their specific roles and responsibilities. Voice tracking presenters and live presenters have different needs and require different levels of access to PlayIt Live's management features.

Voice Tracking Presenters:

Voice tracking presenters primarily need access to record voice tracks remotely and edit their segues. For these users, configure the following permissions:

• Do not tick "Is Admin" to prevent full access to all management functions and settings
• Use the Remote Voice Tracking and Remote Studio grid to specify which hours they can voice track into
• Set Playout Log Editing to restrict them to either "record voice tracks and adjust their segues only" or allow "full playout log editing" for their assigned hours depending on your requirements
• Leave most other permissions unticked since they don't need access to track management, clock editing, or other administrative functions

Live Presenters:

Live presenters need access to the main interface for broadcasting but should still be restricted from management functions that could affect station operations:

• Do not tick "Is Admin" unless you fully trust them with all system settings and management functions
• Use the Remote Voice Tracking and Remote Studio grid to specify their broadcasting hours if they'll be using Remote Studio
• Consider whether they need access to specific management functions like Manage Tracks if they need to add music during their shows
• Leave permissions for clocks, scheduling, and system settings unticked to prevent changes to station automation and configuration

Key Differences:

Management access: Voice tracking presenters typically need no management permissions since they're only recording voice segments. Live presenters may need selective management permissions depending on their role (such as track management if they select their own music).

Time restrictions: Both should be restricted to their assigned hours using the time grid, but live presenters may need slightly wider time windows for show preparation.

Playout log control: Voice tracking presenters can be restricted to voice track recording only, whilst live presenters may need full playout log editing to manage their live shows.

System protection: The main interface (players, playout log interaction) is accessible to all users regardless of permissions - the permission system only controls access to management functions under the Manage menu and system settings.

Best practice: Start with minimal permissions and add management access only as needed based on the presenter's responsibilities and experience level.
