Roles

This section enables you to create named roles with specific access permissions. When an account is generated, it is associated with one or more role. The administrator account is unique in that it has permissions to all Volicon Media Intelligence service features and cannot be deleted.

Table: Roles

Applications	Applications grant the user access to Share, Deliver, Review, Comply, Monitor and admin screens. Checking the top-level function automatically selects all features for that function. If you want to restrict access to a subset, uncheck specific features.
Permissions	This defines how the role is able to utilize Volicon Media Intelligence service.
Channels	This sets which channels are accessible by the role. Each entry consists of one or more channel set.
Users	This displays all user accounts associated with the role.
Defaults	This sets the session timeout and maximum number of concurrent videos.
Publish profile	This selects the social media each role is able to export.

To add a new role, click the <Add> icon at the top of the dashboard. This opens an empty role. Since roles can be complex, and often there are only small differences between roles, use the <Duplicate> feature to simplify the task. Highlight an existing role that is as similar to the new one as possible, then click on the <Duplicate> icon. Type in the new name and click <OK>. Then access that role and make any necessary changes.

Applications

For the remainder of this section, we will be using the user’s role as an example. The same rules apply to any named role.

Example: Looking at the user’s role, we note it allows access to all Volicon Media Intelligence service features except admin screens.

Channels

This section defines the channel sets each role is able to access. To add a channel set to a role, click the <Add> icon at the top of the middle section of the page. A list of previously defined channel sets is displayed on the right of the page. Using channel sets allows you to logically group associated channels regardless of how and where they are ingested into Volicon Media Intelligence service.

Users

This page lists all users assigned to the specified role. An account may be assigned to more than one role. To add an account to the role, click the <Add new user> icon at the top of the middle section. A list of all account names appears in the right-hand pane. If the list is lengthy, use the <Filter> option at the top to limit the display to matching search criteria.

To remove an account from the role, hover over the account name. The name is highlighted in blue. Click on the <Delete> icon at the right to remove the account.

Defaults

This section specifies common behavior for the role.

Unlimited playback session	Inhibits automatic inactivity timeout when playing a video
Concurrent videos	Maximum number of simultaneous videos a role is able to play; value set via dropdown
Force to lowest sub-encoder	If checked, and program ingested in multiple resolutions/bitrates, then lowest resolution/bitrate used

Publish profiles

This section assigns a distribution profile to the role. This allows accounts assigned to the role to export clips to all destinations defined in the distribution profile. Use the <Add> icon to add additional distribution profiles to the role, or hover over the profile name and click <Delete> to remove it from the role.
