Polycom VMC 1000 Broadcaster Guide About the Content Repository
8 Polycom, Inc.
About the Content Repository
The Content Repository is a virtual file system for all streaming and
downloadable resource files listed by user. In the Content Repository you can
upload new content, view or edit information associated with existing content,
and view shared resource files. When you create a program, you are prompted
to choose files from the Content Repository. If your Content Repository is
empty, you cannot create a useful program.
The Content Repository can be managed by a Domain Administrator, a
Broadcaster or a user who is assigned a custom role that includes the “Can
manage own content” or “Can manage any content” permission. Domain
Administrators can view content associated with all Broadcasters.
Broadcasters and other users with the “Can manage own content” permission
but without the “Can manage any content” permission can only view content
they manage themselves.
