Purpose
In some cases it will be necessary to assign shared permissions to a video. For example, only MediaSpace Administrators can add a featured video to the MediaSpace homepage carousel, in which case the video owner must grant co-publisher permissions to the "MediaSpace_Admins" group, or a named IT individual. This guide outlines the steps to update video permissions accordingly.
Step-by-Step Guide to Grant Access
- Log in to MediaSpace
- Go to my.mines.edu and log in using your Mines credentials.
- Navigate to Mines MediaSpace tile.
- Locate Your Video
- Click on My MediaSpace in the top left corner.
- Select My Media from the dropdown menu.
- Find the video you want to feature and click on its title.
- Access the Collaboration Settings
- Click the Actions button below the video player.
- Select Edit from the dropdown menu.
- Navigate to the Collaboration tab.
- Add MediaSpace_Admins as a Co-Publisher
- Click + Add Collaborator.
- In the User or Group Name field, type in, “MediaSpace_Admins”.
- Select the role Co-Publisher.
- Click Add to confirm.
- Confirm the Update
- Ensure "MediaSpace_Admins" appears under the Co-Publishers section.
- Your video should now be accessible to MediaSpace Admins for featuring on the homepage Hero Banner.
Note: There are three different levels of sharing permissions:
- Co-Viewer can only view media and doesn't have editing or publishing permissions.
- Co-Publisher can publish videos to designated channels or galleries, but cannot delete or modify the original content.
- Co-Editor can edit the media's details and metadata, trim media, replace media, edit captions, edit chapters, and edit slides. Co-editors can't delete media or add new co-editors and co-publishers. Co-editors can see the analytics page for the media they co-edit.
