You can assign permissions to system components directly to give users varying levels of access to them. Permissions assigned to items directly override those inherited from the parent folder, a template, or another system component when using the Add Like feature.
The level of access a user is given in
Management Portal will determine what tool for assigning permission is
displayed. For example, users with “Advanced Security” access will see the page
for assigning custom permissions. Users without “Advanced Security” access will
see the “basic permissions” page when assigning presentation
permissions.
To assign basic permissions to system components:
1. Locate the item you want using the search feature or right-click the folder containing it, click Browse, and select the type of item you are seeking. For example, if you are seeking a player click Browse > Players.
2. Click the item to view its Summary page and click More >Security.
3. If the system component has “inherit permissions from its parent folder” enabled, click link to edit permissions.
4. Enter a name, email address, or group name, select Read Only or Writer from the list, and click Add. The user or group is automatically given permissions corresponding to the job assignment.
5. To remove a role or user profile from the assigned roles list, select it and click Remove Selected Roles.
6. To update a role’s or user profile’s permissions, select it, click Update Permissions and update the permissions using the Update Permissions drop-down list.
