Users & invitations

Everyone signs in with their own Twitch account. Admins and owners manage accounts in Security → Users.

Choose a role

Role	What they can do
Viewer	Browse and watch recordings, view schedules, and request channels.
Admin	Also manage recordings and schedules, review requests, invite users, and manage viewer and admin access.
Owner	Also manage other owners and the System pages.

Use Viewer for someone who wants to watch and request recordings. Use Admin for someone who will help manage recordings and user access. Admins can grant admin access to other people.

Only owners can grant ownership or change another owner’s role or whitelist access. You can’t change your own role in the Users table.

Invite someone

1. Open Security → Users and find Invites.
2. Choose Viewer or Admin and a link lifetime: 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. The default is 24 hours. Add a note if needed.
3. Select Create invite, then Copy. Send the link to the person you’re inviting.
4. They open the link and sign in with Twitch. The invite becomes Redeemed, and their account appears in the Users table.

Copy the link before leaving the page. The full link is only shown when you create it. If you lose it, select New link to replace it; the previous link stops working.

Each link can be used once by anyone who has it. Create a separate invite for each person. You can’t redeem your own invite.

An invite also adds the account to the whitelist, so it works when sign-in is restricted. For an existing account, an invite can raise its role but won’t lower it. After joining, the person can use the normal sign-in page.

Cancel an unused invite

Select Revoke beside an unused invite. The link stops working and disappears from the list. Expired links also stop working.

Redeemed invites can’t be revoked. Change the person’s role or whitelist access to manage their account after they’ve joined.

Change someone’s role

In Security → Users, choose a role from the dropdown beside the account. The change takes effect immediately without requiring the person to sign out.

Admins can switch other viewers and admins between those two roles. An owner can also select Owner. Invitation links only offer Viewer and Admin.

Manage the whitelist

When WHITELIST_ENABLED=true, only accounts on the whitelist can sign in. Open Security → Whitelist, enter a numeric Twitch user ID, and select Add. Changes take effect without a restart.

Adding an ID grants sign-in access. Set the person’s role in Users after they’ve joined.

Select Remove to remove an ID and sign out that account’s active sessions. With the whitelist enabled, the person can’t sign in again until access is restored. With it disabled, they can sign back in.

The server adds IDs from WHITELISTED_USER_IDS and OWNER_TWITCH_ID at every startup. To remove access permanently, remove the ID from both the dashboard and the relevant environment setting. Removing it from only one place is insufficient.

To manage your own signed-in devices, see Your account.

Trouble joining?

• Invalid, expired, or used link: ask for a new invite. If you’ve already joined, use the normal sign-in page.
• Your own invite: you can’t redeem a link you created. Sign in normally.
• Account not authorized: ask an admin for an invite or to add your Twitch user ID to the whitelist.
