   Tip

   Haivision Media Platform uses roles with pre-defined permissions to provide users or groups with controlled access to sessions and recordings. Users must be assigned a role to sign in. Users may also be assigned access permissions for content rights (recordings and sessions) by administrators or other users.

6. Click Add User.
   The new user is added to the Users list. 

7. Click Sign Out on the navigation bar and then sign in with the new admin credentials to have full administrative permissions.
