VBrick Systems ETV v3.1 Add/Modify Users Group Assignments, Add/Modify Live Channel Privileges

Page 62

These methods all can be combined. For example, to provide a User with access to the resources provided to a User Group but also provide them access to additional resources, the administrator can a) Assign the User to that Resource Group and b) Individually assign the additional resources to that user. Each of these methods is discussed below.

Add/Modify User's Group Assignments

Users can be assigned to specific User Groups, and they will inherit the privileges of that group. If no User Groups appear, then none have been defined. Click User Groups in the main navigation to the left to create User Groups.

Add/Modify User's Resource Group Assignments

Users can be assigned to specific Resource Groups, and they will inherit the privileges of that Resource Group. If no Resource Groups appear, then none of been defined. Click Resource Groups in the main navigation to the left to create Resource Groups.

Add/Modify Live Channel Privileges

A list of available live video streams will be displayed. A user can be provided access to all live streams or specify individual streams.

Note For live streams that have channel assignments, both the Channel Number and the Program Name will appear in the Channel list. If the Channel number is selected, the ETV Portal Server will always provide access to the particular channel (for example, Channel 1) even if the Program Name of that channel changes. If the Program Name is selected, the ETV Portal Server will always provide access to the Program Name (for example, CNN), even if the channel that it is associated with changes (for example, from Channel 2 to Channel 4).

Allow Access to Specific VOD Servers

Choose from a list of available NXG On-Demand Server(s) to which a user can have access. A user can have access to multiple servers. This feature is particularly useful when VoD servers are located in different physical locations that are separated by low bandwidth links. For example, if a company has offices and VoD servers in both New York and Chicago, and these offices are separated by a T-1 link, then they would want to limit the users in the Chicago office to the Chicago VoD server and those in New York to the New York VoD server.

Note When a user is provided access to particular NXG Video-on-Demand server(s), and they are given the privilege to Publish or Record to a particular folder, when they Publish or Record, the video will be Published or Recorded to each server that they have access to. This is important for clustering purposes.
