Assigning Privileges to Users
There are three ways to assign privileges to users:
•Assign the User to a User Group that has privileges assigned to it.
•Assign the User to a Resource Group that has privileges assigned to it.
•Individually assign resources to the User.
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 to specified individual streams. (Note that a Live Program is a Live Channel that has been customized using Customize Streams.) 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).
