For some items, there may be additional
permissions shown that do not apply. These permissions will be ignored by
Mediasite. Only applicable permissions for an item are listed in the table
below.
System policies define what default permissions are assigned to new items when they are added. Setting system policies is useful if you know in advance that you always want to allow or deny a specific group’s access to these resources in Management Portal. It also reduces the amount of time spent assigning permissions directly.
For example, if you want presenters to see and monitor registered Recorders but not operate them from Management Portal, you might deny them operate permissions for Recorders as part of system policy. When someone connects a Recorder to Mediasite, this group will be able to see the Recorder and monitor it from Management Portal but they will not be able to record presentations.
You can always modify the permissions for a system component directly. Permissions assigned to a system component directly override those defined in system policies. Only users with “Advanced Security” access can set system policies.
