Understanding Video Permissions
Overview
VALT Contains many options for restricting video access to the appropriate users. This article explains how video authorship works in the VALT system and how to ensure that your users can see the videos they need to see.
Authors
Each video in VALT is associated with an author. By default, the author will be whoever started the recording, although that value can be changed when starting a recording or editing a recording. When another user goes to view that recording, be it a live recording that is in progress or a previously recorded video, VALT will evaluate whether that user has permission to access recordings belonging to the author.
Video Permissions
The Permissions to view another author's recordings are set at two different levels:
Group Level
The primary way video access permissions are managed is changing the group video access settings for each group of users. In the Settings page in VALT, navigate to Users & Groups, then edit the group whose permissions you need to adjust. Then, scroll down to Video access and check the box next to any authors whose recordings should be visible to the Group you are editing. If the group should not have access to any recordings other than those personally authored, deselect all users.
