13.2- Teams
The TEAMS feature is how you can provide users with access to specific screens & content.
You can create multiple teams and assign one or more users to each team.
Each team can have different or the same permissions as the other team.
Users that belong to the same team can be restricted to their own playlists and screens.
For example, you can create two different teams, let’s say team 1 and team 2.
Each team can have multiple users, and each team can create their own playlists, and they will be restricted to those playlists only. Administrators can limit access of each team to their own screens using tags.
