Assign permissions to presentations using jobs (mobile and desktop)

In most cases, you will assign users, groups, and roles permissions by selecting jobs (permission groups) for them. However, when assigning permissions using a desktop computer, you can also assign custom permissions.

To specify a presentation’s permissions using jobs:

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. Select one of the jobs below and the user, group, or role is added to Assigned Roles with the assigned permissions.

Read Only

Viewer

Gives user view permission. User is able to see the presentation in catalogs and showcases and view it in Mediasite Player.

Moderator

Gives user read and moderate permissions. User is able to view and approve questions from the audience on the presentation's Q&A Forum page. Questions will be forwarded to the email address associated with the role or users profile. Users with moderate permissions will also receive notifications when comments and annotations are flagged as inappropriate.

If you are assigning a user Moderate and Annotate permissions, you must use a desktop computer to assign custom permissions. 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.

Approver

Gives user read, view, and approve permissions. User can comment on the presentation as part of the content approval (REA) workflow, review edited versions of it, recommend changes, and approve or reject content updates. Approvers cannot edit a presentation's content.

Editor

Gives user read, write, and view permissions. User can record or upload content to the presentation. User can also edit the presentation using the web editor. This user's content does not become generally viewable until an Approver (see above) reviews it and marks it approved.
