Understand User Roles

		User roles in DMS-Admin are the automatic result of a logical operation. You cannot use DMS-Admin
		to assign a user role directly to any user.
		In some cases, users who are authorized to use more than one licensed feature of Cisco DMS. The
		DMS-Admin user role that you see for a user account is based on all privileges and access settings that
		the user has, combined across all of your licensed and activated features.
Table 7-1	Logic That Determines User Role Designations in DMS-Admin
User Role		Logic
Admin		This user role is assigned automatically to any user who is an administrator in any DMM software
		module. These users have full read/write access to all users and user groups in DMS-Admin and can
		manage settings for them.
Group Admin		This user role is assigned automatically to any user who is a content author for Show and Share but is
		not an administrator in any DMM software module. These users cannot see information about user
		accounts and groups in DMS-Admin, nor can they create, edit, or delete them. However, these users
		can create user groups as part of the workflow in Show and Share Administration when they assign the
		rights to view a new or preexisting video.
ReadOnly
		Caution Each user account has only the user role “ReadOnly” until you assign additional access rights and
			privileges. User accounts with this role have severely limited access.
		This user role in DMS-Admin is assigned automatically to any user who has not been granted any
		explicit access settings or privileges in any DMM software module, or who can log in to
		Show and Share but has no other privileges. These users are prevented from logging in to any DMM
		software module.
