Access Control

Description

Webcast now enables you to create private events that are not visible to other members of your organization.

As well, you can assign members of your organization different roles for your private event.

You can create private and public accounts in Webcast Manager in Account Permissions.

This can be found in the Customer section of the navigation panel.

These settings only apply to newly created Webcasts.

Note that the account type chosen will determine the visibility of all new events you create.

Account Type	Definition
Private	Newly created events are not accessible to all users with the Webcast Editors and Webcast Producer roles. All events are private, where you can assign roles for each private event. All events will show the event owner, the person who created the Webcast.
Public	Newly created events are accessible to all users with the Webcast Editor and Webcast Producer roles. All events are public. All events will not show the event owner.

As well, you can also create users with specific roles. Find out more about these users in this article.

Role restrictions

Only roles granted at the account level can be assigned to users.

If the account has been set to private, you are able to assign users specific roles for private events.

Click on the newly created event and then navigate to "Event Permissions" tab.

There, you can assign users roles for your event:

Simply enter the name or e-mail of the desired user(s) and select their desired role for the event:
