Hello, and welcome to a Learning and Technology Services tutorial on setting permissions for
videos you have uploaded to the Streaming Media Portal. By default, videos you add will
only be viewable by all UWEC users. If desired, you may choose to alter this setting.
When viewing your video, you will see a number of tabs below it that allow you to adjust
information and settings that apply to your video. Go to the Permissions tab.Note that
the default settings on a video allow all UWEC users to view videos.
You may wish to share some videos with the public. If you have the rights to do so, simply
select the Public radio button. Note that if you link to your videos page using the
sharing options or embed the video into a website, users will automatically be logged
in as a guest on the system.
If not all UWEC users should be allowed to view a video because of the use of copyrighted
materials or because it is student-sensitive, Private permissions can be enabled. When the
Private option is selected, the default inherited permissions are ignored and only explicit
permissions set using the View, Edit, Delete, and Admin radio buttons for each user and
group in the list are utilized.
If desired, click in the Content Expiration Date text box, and use the calendar tool to
select a date for the video to expire. Content that expires will be automatically deleted
from the system after 90 days and will not be recoverable.
By default, an unlimited number of users can view your video at a time. You may, if desired,
choose to limit this number, but it is recommended that you do not do so. This is typically required
only in special circumstances: when a publisher that allows streaming of specialized videos
requires those videos to be limited to one or more users.
Once you are finished making your changes, click Save.
