You can create and edit ObjectPermissionsin conjunction with CustomRoles to meet the organizational needs of a large digital signage network. 

...

Permissions settings for Users have higher priority than those for Roles, and permissions for Objects have higher priority than those for Operations. For example, if the Presentation Creators are restricted from creating Live Text feeds, but full control for the role is enabled for a certain Live Text feed, then the allowance for that specific object takes precedence over the general restriction for Presentation Creators.

Using Object Permissions (Examples)

Store Managers

...

The In this example, the company wants to give individual let store managers some leeway in deciding decide which deals they want to promote . Store managers need the ability to so store managers must view various presentations and schedule them for the BrightSign players located in their store. However, assigning if you assign them to a Custom Role based on Publishersdoes not completely solve this problem: they , they would have access to the presentation schedules of every store in the nation, not just their own, and they all stores and might accidentally delete or modify themthose schedules for stores that are not their own.

  1. Create a Custom Role based on Publishers.

  2. Assign all of the store managers to this role.

  3. Change the role so that the actions “View Groups” and “Change Schedule” View Groups and Update Schedule in the Group category are denied.

  4. Make sure that each group of players reflects a different store location . ???

  5. Change the object permissions of each group on the network so that each user assigned to the custom Publishers role can only view and modify the group corresponding to his or her store . ???

You can also assign object permissions based on individual BrightSign players. This is helpful if you already organize groups in some other way (by region, by store type, etc.).

You have now created a system of This object permissions that system allows store managers to schedule menus and special offers only at their own store locations. You can customize this system even more: for example, if you want certain store managers to have access to certain menus or promotions depending on region or store type, you can use the object permissions for presentations to deny or allow access as you see fit.

The marketing department wants to upload an announcement for a new flavor of donut in order to test how it will look on a digital display. However, the board of directors is worried that the competition will get wind of this new flavor before it is rolled out across the nation. To minimize the risk of a leak, you want to make sure that, for the moment, only the employees directly involved with testing the announcement announcement must remain confidential, so only certain employees should have the ability to view, edit, or schedule the presentation.

You can limit access to this presentation either by role or by individual user. You can also allow access to a user who is working on this project but who doesn’t normally have access to presentations. In order for this scenario to work, most or all users need to be assigned to Custom Roles. Just like operations permissions, the object permissions for the default System Roles cannot be edited.

Keep in mind that there are other factors beside object permissions that can limit access to a presentation or other object. For example, you can give a user full permissions for a Dynamic Playlist object, but that user will not be able to save content changes to that Dynamic Playlist if the role restricts the “Assign Content” action in the Content permissions category.
