Dashboard Overview and What Each Role Sees

If you sign in after product license activation, the MagicINFO Server Dashboard appears as the main page.

  • MagicINFO Server administrators (general administrator and organization administrators) can assign a role to each user. Available MagicINFO Server functions depend on the user role. For details on user roles, see Managing Users.
  • Displayed menu items vary, depending on the privileges of the user account signed into MagicINFO Server. The instructions provided below regarding the main page assume that you are signed in with general administrator privileges and can access any menu.

In practice
  • The dashboard's count of connected devices comes from each display's last check-in time (an 11-minute window by default), not from whether the screen is playing, so it can be lower than the number of screens you can see working. See Screen online but "Disconnected".
  • After the MagicINFO service restarts, the console can take several minutes to answer; wait before you decide a restart or upgrade failed.
  • MagicINFO tells browsers to use HTTPS for a year, even on plain HTTP. Once a browser has opened the console over HTTPS, an http:// address on that name fails with "This site can't be reached". Use the HTTPS address consistently.
