document them. Similarly, if you are a client and
wish to lock other users out of settings, you may

locked yourself out of Astral 16, you can reset
them back to default by following the procedure
"Default Passwords".
6. Access Management
This area permits a user logged in as installer to
assign access to specific setup functions to the
Expert User. For example, if Astral 16 is installed
at property with technical staff, the installer may
wish to permit the Expert User to make changes
to the inputs for the purposes of installing a new
source, but restrict their ability to make changes
to speaker EQ, apply firmware updates, etc. Any
setup menu marked "Y" in blue is accessible to a
user with the Expert User password.
Note that after making any changes, you must
