Description

 

 

Role

The list of user role types. Each type of role is associated with some of the features in DMM. Choose a role to see

 

or change the corresponding permissions for the user whose account you are adding or editing.

 

After you choose a role, you can set the permissions to create, read, write, and delete objects that are relevant to

 

that role. Depending on the role that you choose, an object might be a registered DMP, a registered FTP server, a

 

category in your digital media library, an application that you configured, or the target device (DMP or FTP

 

server) to receive a scheduled deployment.

DMP Manager — A user with permissions to manage every DMP in your digital signage network, only the DMPs within particular DMP groups that you specify, or no DMPs whatsoever.

Content Manager — A user with permissions to manage every category in your media library, only the particular categories that you specify, or none of the categories.

Application Manager — A user with permissions to work with every application type, only the particular application types that you specify, or no applications of any kind.

Publisher Manager — A user with permissions to schedule media deployments to all of your registered DMPs and external (FTP) deployment servers, only the particular DMPs and FTP servers that you specify, or none of the registered DMPs or FTP servers.

Rows in the untitled table describe user account permissions.

Objects

Contains the Create, Read, Write, and Delete buttons. To see or edit any one of these types of permissions

 

as it applies to the specified user, you must first click the corresponding button. If you uncheck both the All

 

check box and the Selected check box in the column under a button, DMM automatically shows the words

 

“No permissions” in red, to signify that the user does not have any permissions of that type in relation to the

 

objects that are relevant to the role that you selected from the Role list.

 

 

All

Contains the check box that you select to assign global permissions to the user, so that he or she can always

 

create, see, edit, and delete objects that pertain to whichever user role you selected from the Role list.

 

Click the relevant button, and then check the corresponding check box in the All row.

 

 

Selected

Contains the check box that you select to assign limited permissions to the user, so that he or she can create, see,

 

edit, and delete only a subset of the objects that pertain to the user role that you selected from the Role list.

 

Click the relevant button, select the corresponding check box in the Selected row, and then choose the subset

 

where the user permissions should apply.

 

Depending on the object type, you might choose the subset by clicking its name in an object selector or clicking

 

its name in a table; DMM automatically shows either an object selector or a table from which to choose the subset.
