Permissions
HMP uses a combination of access permissions and roles with permissions to provide users or groups with controlled access to sessions, videos, sources, and feeds. If a user does not have permission to at least view a session, video, or source, it does not appear in the portal. From the REST API, programmers can assign these permissions to users or groups.
User can customize permissions by granting and revoking specific actions on any available access permission. HMP ships with the default pre-configured access permissions listed below.
For details on access permissions and how to customize them, see Managing Roles in the Haivision Media Platform Administrator's Guide.
