User access rights

Introduction

The user access rights govern the methods by which a user can log onto the player and perform different tasks. The permissions to perform certain operations are assigned to specific roles. Members are assigned particular roles, and through those role assignments acquire the permissions needed to perform particular system functions. Since users are not assigned permissions directly, but only acquire them through their role(s), management of individual user rights becomes a matter of simply assigning appropriate roles to the user's account; this simplifies common operations, such as adding a user, or changing a user's access rights.

Roles

The following user access roles are available on the players:

• Administrator

  The user has full player access, including to the Control Center, Status API and RPC API. It can manage other users as well.

• Content authoring

  The user has access to the built-in content management application and/or can publish content from Elementi.

• Monitoring

  The user has limited access to the Control Center home page, the player logs and can generate player reports. It has also access to the Status API and some RPC API commands.

• Read-only access

  The user can access the Create and Schedule pages, but cannot change any content. The user could access the Message app if another user with content authoring rights would share the URL to use that app.
