Alternate display between several wallboards, and Restrict user access to wallboards (UAW)

The UAW can be set up to automatically switch displays between several wallboards based on a timer. To do this, turn on the authentication for each one and then include all of these in a View Access profile for each authenticated user or computer.

You can also set up a wallboard so that only a defined user or computer has access to it. The restriction is based on the windows user name, computer host name or computer IP address.  The setup is the same as the alternating display, but you only assign one wallboard instead of several.

You may create as many View Access instances as you need to cater multiple users/devices that need to view restricted or alternating wallboard displays.

Wallboards that are protected show on the landing page with a padlock.

Wallboards are protected by setting the authentication in the Wallboard administration.  Choose from Windows Users, PC Hostname (including IP address) or both.

From the Wallboard Administration area:

1. Edit the first wallboard to be displayed
2. Set the Page Refresh time (in seconds)
3. In the General Settings, set the authentication (Choose from Windows User or PC Hostname or both. The PC hostname can be the IP address of the display computer.)
4. Adjust any other settings for the wallboard, and Save.
5. Edit another wallboard in the same way, including setting the timer and authentication, and Save
6. From the main Wallboard Administration menu go to View Access (Users tab in UAW 2.1)
7. Add an entry for each user/computer-host that is to display the wallboards.
8. Choose the wallboard for each one (-edit wallboard access- in UAW 2.1) 
9. Add the wallboards to display by clicking on the name of each wallboard
10. Save or apply the settings

Now, when the user or computer displays the wallboard, it will automatically swap to the other wallboard after the refresh interval. Users or computers that are not authenticated cannot view the wallboard.
