Access Control

Allow Access to Specific VOD Content

Choose from a list of folders to which a user can have access. A user can have access to multiple folders on multiple servers. If the user has access to multiple VoD servers, and the folder names are the same on both servers, only one folder name will show up in the list.

Allow Viewing by Content Type

The Administrator can limit the types of content that a user can view and/or limit the bandwidth that specific users can view. Note that this setting does not apply to URLs that were manually added by an administrator (see URLs on page 29).

Allow Content Publishing

Administrators can allow a user the ability to publish content to folder(s) on an NXG Video- On-Demand Server. This function allows the user access to the Add Video page, where users can add pre-recorded video content to a VOD. It also allows users to (1) create (and upload) Thumbnails for video files in the folders to which they can publish, to (2) delete video content from the VOD server, and (3) to add keyword and description data using the Modify Info button. To prevent users from deleting content, be sure this option is disabled.

Note If users are provided access to more than one VoD server, when they publish content, it will be published to each of the servers to which they have access. This is important for clustering purposes.

Allow Content Recording

Used for scheduled recording. Administrators can allow a user the ability to schedule the recording of live content to a specific folder(s) on an NXG Video-On-Demand Server. They cannot record content to any other folder(s). You must select a folder here to enable Default Content Recording below. If there is no schedule license, Allow Content Recording is not shown as an option and Default Content Recording lets you select any folder. If you add a

schedule license later (using Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs), Allow
