  • How to restrict access to a pulpTunes Installation rating stars

    By default, anonymous access is allowed. To restrict anonymous access, or create groups and users with different permissions, you need to activate the User Management functionality, which is disabled by default:

    After starting pulpTunes, right-click on the Orange icon in the Task Tray (Windows) or Menu Bar (Mac)

    Select User Management.

    Tick the "Enable User Management" checkbox, and enter new credentials for the administrator user.

    After doing this, you will see a new "Log-in" link in the pulpTunes web page, at the top-right corner.

    Click it and enter the admin credentials you set in the step above.

    After being successfully authenticated, the page will reload and you will have yet another link "User Management". Click it to see the window popup that will allow you to configure the user permissions.

    The first thing you will see is the Groups tab, with the Anonymous group selected. You can see it has the "Has Access" option selected. If you uncheck it, pulpTunes will from now on always ask for a username and password. In this tab you can also create new groups, and assign access permissions or the permission to rate a song. Next to the "Access Permissions" checkbox you'll see "All Playlists". This means users of the current group will have access to all of your playlists. If you click on that link, you can can restrict to wish playlists you want to give them access.

    Under the Users tab, you can create users, assigning them usernames and passwords. You must assign a group to each user, which will determine the permissions for that user.

    Ok, I searched the forum and found this solution: 1) "sh ./pt_linux.sh -create_superadmin" lets you create an admin account 2) "sh ./pt_linux.sh -user_management_enabled" enables user management on the web interface

    I'm running pulpTunes 1.2.0 under OS X 10.5.8 on a PPC machine through "java -jar pulpTunes.jar" so there is no Orange icon in the Menu Bar. How can I enable user management?
