**Don't forget** to also create a password entry for the user in the
*Passwords* tab!
*[Passwords](class/passwd)* tab!

**Tips**:
* Be as limiting as possible especially when making Tvheadend available over the internet.
* For extra security, always enter (a comma-separated list of) network prefix(es) (*Allowed networks* in the *Add Access Entry* dialog).
* If you lock yourself out, you can use the backdoor account to regain access, or restart Tvheadend with the `--noacl` argument.
* You can have multiple entries using the same username with varying rights, allowing you to enable / disable each as needed. Keep in mind that matching account entry permissions are combined.

* If you do create an anonymous account, it also requires a [password](class/passwd) entry (enter an asterisk `*` for both the username and password fields when adding the entry).
