Hello and welcome to this Blog Post edition of #Ask Susie. In this week’s post, we’re going to learn all about Managing Users in Contribute Signage, Software.
Learn all about Managing Users in Contribute Signage Software
Contribute Signage allows an Administrator (the person who signed up for the account) to create sub-users with different roles. All aspects of the signage can be controlled at user level.
First, head over to “Users” option from the main menu.
Before we create a user, we want to create a new role. This dictates what the user is able to do within the software.
Click on “Add Role” – you will then need to give your role a name and choose what the users assigned to this particular role can do in the software.
In our example here, the receptionist is only able to Send Warnings (Crisis Management) from the software, nothing else. Click save to add the Role.
There are currently no users on the system. We are going to create Jon the receptionist.
Fill in the table below and select Jon’s role from the drop down menu.
Click save to finalise the user. Once saved, you are able to edit and delete the users with these options from the table.
Click save to finalise the user. Now, we’re going to log out and lot back in as Jon. When we login, we will see the the Dashboard is different and in the menu options, only the Crisis Management (Warnings) is available.
User level control allows Admin’s to control exactly what each and every user has access to.

About Contribute Signage
Digital Signage creation should not be complicated.
YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE A GRAPHIC DESIGNER TO BE ABLE TO CREATE GOOD LOOKING DIGITAL SIGNAGE
Our approach to digital signage is that you should not have to be a graphic designer in order to create good looking yet functional layouts. You also should not have to outsource this task to a 3rd party company which costs you money. You should be able to manage, create and update your own digital signage layouts whenever you like, from any browser. Contribute Signage allows you to do just that.
With Contribute Digital signage we have created a super simple drag and drop, WYSIWIG editor that allows you to import from the media gallery your own images and videos, add clocks, and other widgets like a Twitter feed and the latest weather. All of this is done right inside a browser from any connected device.
Free Trial
We offer a 15-day free trial. You so not need any credit card information and it is totally unlimited. We will help you with creating a layout and Susie will be there every step of the way. Why not try it now – head over to Contribute Signage,
Deploying and Managing Your Devices & Signage
SEE THE DEVICE’S LOCATION, GROUP PLAYERS, SEE WHICH ARE ONLINE, OFFLINE AND WHICH OS IS BEING USED – ALL FROM THE WEB CONTROL PANEL, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME ON ANY WEB-ENABLED DEVICE.
In order to add a device to your control panel, firstly, you need to download and install our Playback App. Once installed, the App will give you a unique registration code. Assign the location of the device and enter the registration code in your web control panel and your playback device will be connected to your account. You can see the status of the device from your control panel as well as its location on google maps. This makes managing multiple locations from the same web control panel simple and easy.
You are able to organize your playback devices into folders. You are also able to group your devices so that you can have all your reception areas playing the same “reception” layout channel etc. Being App based means that we can convert any of your existing screens into a playback device, simply by installing the App onto that device, or a hardware dongle such ass a Windows or Android stick.
Create, Deploy, & Manage
We know that Digital Signage needs to be simple. Install our App on your device. Connect your device to your TV or Monitor. Add the device to your online web portal and you are good to go! Create, deploy and manage your signage from any device, anywhere.
User Level Access
