In a preferred embodiment, as part of the UI inventory routine, in particular if this is conducted as part of the UI change routine, the user is shown one or more identifiers in a GUI, from which the user can select at least one identifier by interacting with the GUI. For example, identifier images are shown to the user in a screen view, a respective identifier image being assigned to an identifier within the UI. The user can select the identifier by touching the identifier image in the screen view.
Following the selection of an identifier, the UI change routine may include the step of generating a change signal that contains the selected media ID and the selected identifier. The UI can then transmit the change signal generated in this manner.
In a preferred embodiment, the user interface (UI) has a UI extension routine. The UI change routine causes an extension signal to be sent. The extension routine can be conducted independently. The UI extension routine can be executed as part of a UI change routine. In a first embodiment, the extension signal contains the user and/or the user group whose assignment is to be changed in the server's authorization table and the media ID which is to be assigned to the user and/or the user group. In a second embodiment, the structure of the extension signal can be selected such that the extension signal contains information about the media ID that is to be assigned to the user in the server's authorization table. The assignment to the user then results from further circumstances, for example when the extension signal received by the server is initiated by a user interface on which the user is logged in.
The UI extension routine can be triggered if a check conducted after the selection of a media ID shows that the selected media ID has not yet been assigned to the user or a user group to which the user belongs.
