Editing and Creating User Roles

Written by Giuseppe

In this article, we will outline how to create and edit User Roles — reusable permission sets you can assign to user accounts, controlling exactly what they're able to see and do across the platform.

Accessing Role Management

  • Click Settings in the top right-hand corner

  • From the Domains and User Management dropdown, select Role management

Creating or editing a Role

  • Give the Role a Name at the top level

  • Give your Role a Name under the General section

  • Work through each permission category below, ticking the specific permissions you'd like this Role to grant:

    • User — Can create sub-domains and users

    • Player — Edit, Group Properties, Monitoring, Analytics

    • Content — Edit, Download Media, Content approval required, Ticker

    • Playlists — Edit

    • Schedule — Scheduling grid, Merging Playlists

    • Publish — Publish

Once you're happy with your selections, click Save settings

Please Note

Permissions are granted individually per checkbox — a Role only grants access to exactly what's ticked. For example, a Role could allow editing Playlists without granting access to Publish, useful for separating content creation from content deployment.

Assigning a Role to a user

  • Open the user's account settings, and scroll to Account settings

  • Select your desired Role from the Role dropdown

  1. Click the Edit button beside the Role dropdown at any time to jump back into that Role's permission set and make further changes

  2. Once you're happy with your selection, click Save settings

Summary

With Roles built from individually configurable permission categories, you're able to create precise, reusable access levels — from a single user's account, or applied consistently across your whole team — without needing to configure permissions from scratch each time.
