Content Recording will be shown as an option with all folders selected. You may want to
unselect specific folders in order to restrict recording privileges.
Default Content Recording
Used for on-demand recording. You must select a folder above for Allow Content Recording
before you can make a folder selection here. Administrators can allow a user the ability to
record live content to a specific default folder on an NXG Server by pressing the
Record
push button below the Preview Window. For ease of use, the Administrator can only assign
one default folder where a particular user can record content. This allows one button
recording on the ETV Portal Server and is particularly important for Set-Top Box users, who
may not be able to enter a recording path with their IR remote control.
Allow VBrick Access
Administrators can allow a user the ability to access all VBricks or only specific VBricks when
scheduling events. When scheduling an event, users will see only those VBricks for which they
have been granted access.
STB Access
Administrators can allow a user the ability to access all STBs or only specific STBs when
scheduling events. When scheduling an event, users will see only those STBs for which they
have been granted access.
Schedule Privileges
Users may have full, partial, or no permission to schedule VBrick event. Users with full
privileges can modify all configuration parameters in a schedule. Users with partial privileges
cannot modify
Advanced Settings.
Emergency Broadcast Privileges
Administrators can specify whether or not a user can launch Emergency Broadcasts.
User Groups
Grouping users is common practice and makes administering access to the ETV Portal Server
less complicated than administering access by individual user. The ETV Portal Server server
allows the administrator to create User Groups, specify group memberships for users, and set
access privileges for the group. A user can be a member of one group or multiple groups.
Group access privileges also can be set and modified on a per group basis.
If an LDAP directory is being used for Authentication, the same group information that is
available in the directory can be used to Authorize end users to access the ETV Portal Server.
For example, if the organization has three User Groups in its LDAP directory—Marketing,
Engineering, and Sales—they can simply create these groups in the ETV Portal Server
system, and assign privileges to the groups.
