You can create User to grant access to your broadcast.radio account to station staff or other contributors. Users can also be granted Roles to determine what parts of the broadcast.radio system they can access.

8. Choose the Role for the User. The options are ordered from least privileged, to most privileged:
   1. 1. Guests - Guests can log into https://broadcast.radio, and can view (but not edit) the schedule.
