Expired Content Log
This window shows all expired content in chronological order with the oldest expiration date first. Click Purge All to delete all records in the log. See Modify VOD Content on page 87 and Stream Restrictions on page 29 for more information.
Access Control
Under the Access Control section, administrators have the ability to enable Authentication and Authorization which requires users to login and be authenticated. By default Enable Authentication and Authorization is unchecked which allows everyone to access all content and all functions (recording, publishing, etc.). When Access Control is enabled, User Groups, and Resource Groups are shown on the navigation bar. Access control determines what functionality is available to each user. For example some users may have unlimited access, while others can only view certain live channels and may not have permission to record live channels or add videos to the VOD server. Users and User Groups on page 107 explains in detail how configure users and groups.
Access control also lets you specify which folders are used when individual users record live broadcasts, add videos, or autoingest content. If you do not enable Authentication and Authorization, all of these actions default to the root folder (which can quickly get cluttered).
Note As soon as you check Enable Authentication and Authorization, users will be prompted for User Names and Passwords. VBrick recommends configuring the system prior to user access or during off hours when the network is idle.
