Managing Music Servers
To monitor a music server via the CasaTunes Manager dashboard, a dealer must first add the server to their list of managed devices. Each dealer is assigned a unique Manage ID, which identifies their CasaTunes Manager account.
To authorize access, the customer—or the dealer on the customer's behalf—must assign the music server using this Manage ID. This step must be completed on-site.
CasaTunes Manager ensures the customer remains in full control of who can access and manage their music system. Whether the server is managed by the customer alone, a dealer, or multiple users, granting access is as simple as adding users using their Manage ID.
If changes are needed, the customer can revoke user access at any time via the CasaTunesX App. Dealers can manage their list of connected servers, and remove servers being managed, directly from the CasaTunes Manager dashboard.
To streamline the process and eliminate the need for an on-site visit, dealers can send a Customer Invite from the dashboard. This email includes all necessary information and step-by-step instructions the customer needs to securely authorize dealer access remotely.
Key Points
- Customers control who can manage their servers.
- Dealers must be added by the customer or send a Customer Invite.
- Access can be revoked at any time by customers (or dealers can remove servers themselves).
