ETV Portal Server Admin Guide 87
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.
• Super – can change all schedules.
• Full – can change only "owned" schedules.
• Partial – can change only "owned" schedules; no
Advanced features.
• None – cannot create schedules; no
Add button shown on Scheduling page.
Emergency Broadcast Privileges
Administrators can specify whether or not a user can launch Emergency Broadcasts.
Copyright Restrictions & Expiration Privileges
Administrators can allow users to set Copyright Restrictions and Expiration Privileges when
adding stored content or scheduling a recording. Note that copyright restrictions apply only
to Portal Server-initiated playback sessions (and not, for example to direct RTSP requests to
a VOD server).
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.
