User and host profile

Dashboard differentiates persons and their data by applying two concepts:

• User

• Host profile

The chapters below explain their differences and relationship.

User

A user is identified by an account and a set of credentials, provided by administrators.

User roles

Some user account typically has one of these roles assigned:

• Host / Editorial Staff
  Typically a host is a person belonging to the editorial staff. Depending on the radio station a host has different permissions. Such permissions can allow full show administration or only certain rights on show or episode level. Hosts can also be only guests on certain episodes of shows they do not belong to (so called contributors). Such hosts have no login credentials and are mainly presented on the website description.
  
  

• Programme Manager
  A programme coordinator is the manager of a radio stations programme. It is in charge of organising the overall programme plan, involving schedules, consistency in show and episode information and other content quality assurence duties.
  
  

• Radio Station Administrator
  This is a superuser, typically part of the IT team. Radio Station Administrators are in charge of keeping the system up and running, performing updates and doing certain low level operations.
  
  

In addition to these roles, users can also have a set of individual permissions.

Users and their roles are configured in the radio station administration. In order to create users, assign roles or modify individual permissions, contact your administrator.

Host profile

Hosts are public profiles of editorial staff members, as they are presented on the radio station website, the show profile etc. That means in most cases hosts are also users, and are referenced to each other.

Hosts can also be one-time guests of a show, also references to as Contributors in the episode details. Such guests can be assigned to an episode on-the-fly. They don’t necessarily have a user account assigned and may not be active in the radio station community.

Host profile vs Host role

Note, that the described host profile is different to the host user role and must not be equally assigned. For example a user with the role Programme Manager can also be a Host of a show.

Below you learn more about managing your profile details or general host info, in case your are a programme manager.
