Managing groups and users using the Mediasite Directory

Mediasite directory, which is based on Microsoft's Active Directory® Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS), stores users and groups and includes built-in groups, roles, and users. Mediasite directory is a required component in Mediasite system and is installed and configured when Mediasite is deployed. You will add additional users to this directory and assign them to groups to give others access to Mediasite applications and presentations. 

When you add a new group to Mediasite directory, a corresponding role to which you will assign permissions for the group is automatically added to Mediasite database. All users that you assign to a group inherit the permissions assigned to the corresponding role.
