Creating and Editing Players

All players can edit their own information; if you have admin permissions you can edit your own and others information, and create new players.

Edit your profile

From the Workshop navigation, click Edit Players.

All players can update their email address or change their password.

Player Permissions

Different permissions can be given to players, according to what you want them to be able to do and access on your UpStage server. The default permissions allow access to the on-stage tools, but no access to the Workshop to upload/edit media, or create/edit stages. Tick the checkboxes to give a player extra permissions:

Player: The default permissions enable a logged in player to access the on-stage player tools, so that they can collaborate in a performance. This level is also used for guest log-ins, for open walkthroughs and workshops where people are learning the basic operations of UpStage before starting to make their own show. This default level does not give access to the Workshop.
Maker: A player with "Maker" permissions can access the Workshop and upload media, edit their own media, create stages and edit their own stages; as well as access the on-stage player tools.
Unlimited Maker: A player with unlimited upload permission can upload files larger than the 1MB file upload limit.
Admin: A player with admin access can administer their own and others media and stages, add/edit players, and edit the Workshop pages. An admin user has unlimited upload permission.
Creator: A player with creator access can do everything an admin can do, as well override a stage lock and create new creator level users.

Editing Players

From time to time, you may need to edit the details of a player other than yourself - for example if someone's email address has changed but they haven't updated it themselves, or if you wish to give someone extra permissions such as an unlimited upload limit. The most common example is when a player has forgotten their password - an admin player can create a new password for them so that they can log back in.

The Edit Existing Player Details link at the bottom of an administrator's Edit Players screen will give a list of all players, and clicking on a player will open a pop-up window as shown below.

(update screengrab)

Make the changes that you want to make for the player, then scroll down to click Update Player; this is also where you can delete a player, by clicking on the Delete Player button at the end of this pop-up window.
