CREATING ACCOUNTS

As the local AudioPort manager, you give producers and staff at your station their personal accounts under the umbrella account your station has on the website. Step-by- step instructions for creating accounts:

Creating accounts for downloading content 

Creating accounts for content distribution 

Adding & removing local managers

With an account, producers and staff can:

1. Download content to be aired on the radio
2. Upload their own content for national distribution
3. Store content online in their private spot in the server (“Electronic Workroom”)
4. stream some content and live specials

• Introduce your radio staff and producers to AudioPort – as you see appropriate. Inform them that they can have their own accounts. Send them to the producer’s section of this online resource center to learn about this service.

• Remind producers and staff them that they may only use content from AudioPort for on-air and radio production purposes only. Instruct anyone wishing to use the content in another way, to get permission from the person who put the content in AudioPort, either directly (the producer’s email is given on the show page) or with the assistance of Pacifica staff. Remind them that their compliance is essential for Audioport’s viability.

• Remember: You can access a link to a live Pacifica KU stream for broadcast. After logging in, notice a bright green box in the navigation bar with a link to the streams. The KU left channel has regularly scheduled programming and the KU right channel remains silent except for when streaming special live programming.

• Review your station’s AudioPort accounts periodically to make sure that they are up to date.

• To terminate an account’s access, click the box next to the word: Suspend, under the account’s name and email. A pink background should appear.

• Terminate access to anyone who has left the station.

• Terminate access when someone violates AudioPort’s terms of usage listed at AudioPort/terms.

• Terminate access when someone’s content is undesirable

Normally, we ask you to use the Suspend link, rather than the Remove from station or Delete links – unless you want to remove any content that person uploaded. The email of that account is the marker for the website’s database, so if you remove that account, any content uploaded by that person will disappear.
