Use Management Portal to add roles, for groups or users, from Mediasite directory or a directory connected to Mediasite (Active Directory or an LDAP-based directory). Once you add roles, you can assign permissions to them. Group memberships are maintained when roles are added for groups in a directory so all users in the group inherit the permissions assigned to the group’s role.
To add Mediasite roles from a directory:
1. Click Security > Roles > Add New > Add From Directory.
2. Select the directory you want from the Directory drop-down list.
3. Specify the search parameters:

directories to add roles from them. Also, adding a role to Mediasite system does
not affect users and groups in the external directory.
