Channel Access Rights

Access to channels can be controlled in the administration area of VideoManager. Main channels including its subchannels can be protected. With the status of "protected", the channels and related videos in the video management are basically invisible.

Protected channels can be released by the administrator for specific roles. This means, users who have this role, have access to the protected channel (and its subchannels) as well as to related videos.

To protect access to a channel, proceed as follows:

1. In the navigation pane of the administration area, select the "Channel access" entry.
   
   
2. In the center pane, you see all available main channels of your VideoManager. Highlight the channel that you want to restrict access by clicking on the appropriate entry.
