About the Content Repository
The Content Repository is a virtual file system for all streaming and downloadable resource files listed by user. In the Content Repository you can upload new content, view or edit information associated with existing content, and view shared resource files. When you create a program, you are prompted to choose files from the Content Repository. If your Content Repository is empty, you cannot create a useful program.
The Content Repository can be managed by a Domain Administrator, a Broadcaster or a user who is assigned a custom role that includes the “Can manage own content” or “Can manage any content” permission. Domain Administrators can view content associated with all Broadcasters. Broadcasters and other users with the “Can manage own content” permission but without the “Can manage any content” permission can only view content they manage themselves.
