Dashboard sub-accounts

It is possible to create sub accounts, sub accounts are accounts you can create for your friends or family that give them access to actions on the dashboard for your server.

It is NOT a way to invite people to stream from your server!

Adding users to your server

Share your server

In order to share your server, you need to head over to settings/user-management

This is where you can both add and edit your current managed users.

When adding a new user to your server, first select the wanted server to share. You also need to enter a valid email address for the user.

Note! This email does not have to be associated with any Plex account

Click "Add user" and you're all set.
The user will receive an email with this information:

• The username and password
• The current set access rights
• The link to the manage page

---

Setting the user access

You may specify an array of permissions the users should have for the shared server.
The permissions you can select from are:

• Start server
• Stop server
• Force stop server
• Restart server
• Reset Plex config
• Change CDN
• Change Tautulli (Appbox +)
• Manage plugins
• View server information
• Deploy Emergency Server
• Claim the server
• Reset server claim
• Update Plex (Emergency Server) - A feature only available for dedicated/emergency servers

Static user access

All the users you share with will always have access to these features:

• Request Lounge
• TV-Schedule
• Support

The TV Schedule

All customers have access to the TV schedule, the TV Schedule shows the status of previous, and upcoming TV episodes that we are monitoring.

The TV schedule indicates status in a simple color format

In the calendar, Green indicates that the episode is available - Blue indicates that the episode have not yet aired, and thus should not be available on your appbox - Red Indicates that the episode has aired, but is not yet available.

If an episode is marked as Red, a few reasons could be at fault

1. It is not possible to find any download links, and so it was not downloaded

2. It was possible to find download links, but not in a resolution we want

 

The full calender is illustrated below

Get notified by email, when an episode is available!

An important feature of our TV schedule, is the notification system - It is possible to "like" shows on the calender, and get notified via email when new episodes of your "liked" shows are added, allowing you to easily know when you should initiate a server scan to catch the episode!

1. Click the show you want to monitor, then click the "Favorite this show" button

2. Your favorite shows are shown in the general calender view, illustrated by a tiny heart

Thats it! You will never miss an episode again!
