You will secure presentations, system components, and web applications on Mediasite by assigning roles and user profiles permissions, Permissions vary slightly depending on whether you are securing presentations, system components, or folders:
Permission |
Description |
Read |
Read permissions determine which items users can see in Mediasite applications (My Mediasite, Management Portal, catalogs, showcases, editors, etc.) and recording devices, for example: • Users must have read permissions for a schedule to see it on a Hardware Recorder. • Users must have read permissions on a presentation to see it in a shared folder. • Users must have read permissions on a presentation to add it to a catalog or showcase. • Users with read permissions on a system component, such as a player or template, can see the item and use it when creating a presentation or schedule. |
Write |
Write permissions determine which items users can update and record in Mediasite applications and recording devices, respectively. Users are automatically given read permissions when assigned write permissions: When users have write permissions on an item, additional settings are available in Mediasite applications, for example: • Users must have write permissions on a presentation to update its settings, record it, and edit it. • Users must have write permissions on a catalog, folder, or showcase to customize it or add content to it. • Users must have write permissions on a system component, such as a player, to update its settings. |
View |
View permissions determine which presentations or shortcuts users can see in a catalog or showcase and play back in Mediasite Player. View permissions also determine which catalogs and catalog folders users can see. |
Execute |
Execute permissions determine which operations users can perform in Mediasite applications. |
Annotate |
Annotate permissions allow Showcase users to add annotations to a presentation and participate in annotation discussions. |
Moderate |
Moderate permissions determine which users can view questions from the audience on a presentation’s properties page. When a role or user profile is assigned moderate permission for a presentation, it is automatically given read permission for it. If a user is assigned Moderate and Annotate permissions, they can moderate a presentation’s annotation discussions. This user will also receive notifications when comments or annotations are flagged on a presentation. |
Approve |
Approve permissions determine which users can comment on a presentation, review edited versions of it, recommend changes, and approve or reject content updates. |
When a user is assigned moderate permissions for a presentation, questions will be forwarded to the email address associated with their valid user profile unless the user opts out of moderator emails or provides an alternate moderator email address.
