Assign custom permissions (desktop only)

When you are using My Mediasite from a desktop computer, you can assign custom permissions in addition to jobs.

To assign custom permissions:

1. On the presentation’s properties page, click Edit Security.

2. In the Security dialog, clear the Inherit permissions from parent folder check box.

3. Enter a name (or username), email, or group in the Add people or groups field. If you have a large number of users, groups, or roles in your system use one of the Search Method options to narrow your search.

4. Once you have located the user, group, or role you want, select it. It will be added to the Assigned Roles list with the Read Only job.

5. Select the check boxes next to the permissions you want to allow or deny.

Users with moderate permissions will also receive notifications when comments and annotations are flagged as inappropriate. If a user is assigned Moderate and Annotate permissions, they can moderate a presentation’s annotation discussions. Users can opt out of moderator emails or provide an alternate moderator email address. They can also opt out of notifications. For more information, see Updating your user settings.
