# Users and Channels
## **Users**
There are two regular user roles, *client* and *creator*.
*Clients* can**:**
* Log in and view a list of available channels. If only one channel is available to the client, they will go straight there and bypass the home screen.
* View live streams, channel names and notes.
* Upload and download files\*
* Participate in live chat\*
\*By default, clients see a simplified view of just the stream, channel name and notes. You can change this under Administration-> Customization -> Preferences
*Creators* can do the above plus:
* See live stream stats including number of viewers, data in/out and more.
* View the creation date for each channel
* Copy or reset the input Stream URLs
* Copy or reset the Public Link and embed code
* Record and playback live streams
* Delete files, in addition to upload/download privileges
* Clear the chat history
There is currently only one top-level admin account for administration of users, channels and other server settings. The default credentials are ***admin / vnadmin**.*
Use the + and - buttons to add and delete clients and creators, or click on a user to edit it:
You can change the password of any user account when editing the user in the administration section, or by clicking the username at the top right when logged in as that user.
## **Channels**
Each channel is a private workspace centered around a live stream. Every channel has a name, some optional notes, and a list of allowed Clients and Creators. This can be edited to allow/revoke access to channels as needed.
In this example, we are creating a channel where clients Dan & Pepper could view content from creators Elsa or Tarzan.
