About user roles and privileges
Media Portal provides the following roles, each with different
access rights and permissions. When you sign up a user, you assign
the user one of the following roles:
-
Media Portal Administrator
-
Can add and remove administrators, contributors, and users.
The administrator can also set group access rights, manage FTP accounts,
assign corporate-approved conversion formats (presets), send e-mail
to Media Portal users, and view portal usage and storage reporting.
Note:
The
Media Portal Administrator and Scene7 Administrator role are the same.
-
Media Portal User
-
Has access to folders and files. A user can only browse,
preview, and download files. This role is suitable for channel or
service partners that need access to your corporate-approved assets.
-
Media Portal Contributor
-
Can upload, preview, and browse files and metadata in areas
to which an administrator has granted permissions. A contributor
cannot download files. Contributors can edit metadata, change the
names of files, move files to different folders, and delete files.
-
Media Portal Contributor-User
-
Has access to folders and files. A contributor-user can browse,
preview, download, and upload images and metadata. Contributor-users
