Allow Access to Specific FTP Servers

Users and User Groups

Note The live streams shown in the Portal Server may also be restricted by a bit mask on a VBrick encoder. The Portal Server will parse the bitmask and send the live stream only to ETV clients with a IP address that matches the masked IP of the source VBrick. You can use this feature in addition to the Portal Server authorization features. See the Announce(SAP) parameter in the encoder appliance Admin Guide for more information.

Allow or deny access to defined FTP servers.

Allow Access to Specific Recorder Servers

Allow or deny access to defined recorder servers.

Allow Access to Specific VOD Servers

Choose from a list of available VOD server(s) to which a user has access. A user can have access to multiple servers. This feature is particularly useful when VOD servers are located in different physical locations that are separated by low bandwidth links. For example, if a company has offices and VOD servers in both New York and Chicago, and these offices are separated by a T-1 link, then they would want to limit the users in the Chicago office to the Chicago VOD server and those in New York to the New York VOD server.

Note When a user is provided access to particular VOD server(s), and they are given the privilege to Publish or Record to a particular folder, when they Publish or Record, the video will be Published or Recorded to each server that they have access to. This is important for clustering purposes.

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 53).
