Programs
A program is the bottom level of the content hierarchy. A program is a
metadata “wrapper” that controls access to resources published using VMC
1000. Programs aggregate related streaming files and downloadable files from
the Resource Bin for online presentation. There can be several Resource Bin
items associated with a single program. For example, a program can contain
the same video in multiple bit rates, or non-related video files with different
bit rates. Programs are owned by the owner of the channel in which the
program resides.
Groups
Groups allow Site Administrators to create groups of users and assign roles to
them. These groups are also available to Site Administrators to assign to
programs to limit access of the program to specified groups.
Resource Bin
The Resource Bin is a virtual file system for all streaming and downloadable
files uploaded into the VMC 1000. In order to create a program with streaming
files, or streaming and downloadable files, you must first populate your
Resource Bin. In the Resource Bin, you can:
• Upload new resources.
• View or edit information associated with existing resources.
• Organize Resource Bin items within Resource Bin folders.
• View shared resource files.
When you create a program, you are prompted to choose resource files from
the Resource Bin. The Site Administrator and the Content Owner can both
manage the Resource Bin. The Site Administrator can view all resources.
Content Owners can only view shared or public resources, and only the
private resources they own or manage (streaming, downloadable, thumbnail,
etc).
In a domain that uses an LDAP realm, groups are read from the datastore, and
cannot be modified, nor can additional groups be manually added through the
system.
