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 for all MIS features and cannot be deleted.

Table: Roles

Applications	Applications grant the user access to; Share, Deliver, Review, Comply, and Monitor Clicking top-level function automatically selects all features for that function. If you want to restrict access to a subset, uncheck specific features
Admin pages	Sets access to admin tools: Settings, Configuration, System health and Analytics
Permissions	This defines how the role is able to utilize MIS features
Channels	This sets which channels are accessible by role. Each entry consists of one or more channel set
Users	This displays all user accounts associated with the role
Other Settings	This sets session timeout and maximum number of concurrent videos
Publish profile	This selects the social media sites 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 times there are only small differences between roles, use the duplicate feature to simplify the task. Select a role that is as similar to the new one as possible, and then click the <Copy> icon. Type in the new name and click <OK>. Then access the new role and make any necessary changes.

Applications

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

Example: looking at the Users’ role, we note it allows access to all MIS features except Deliver and the 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 new channel set> icon at the top 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 MIS.

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.
