This page describes the BSN.Cloud permissions system and how to use defaultSystem roles. Custom rolesRoles and object permissions Object Permissions are described here and here.

Permissions

You can view operations and object permissions while logged into BSN.Cloud.

...

Object permissions are accessible in the object Properties (under Security), For example, you can select the Network, Content, or Presentations tab, chose a player, content, or presentation, and view or change the permissions as shown below:

...

System Roles

These default roles have clearly defined roles and responsibilities and are provided with every BSN.Cloud account. These are the default System Roles:

Administrators

Systems administrators are responsible for keeping things running and should have sole permissions to add or delete users. If other users have this permission, they might accidentally delete a user, add a user who is not a member of the company, or change the permissions settings for a user or role.

...

The first user of a BSN.Cloud account will automatically be assigned to the Administrators role. If you are not the first user on your account, you will need to have that user assign you to the Administrators role.

Creators

The Creatorsrole gives you complete control of content, including presentations, dynamic playlists, and Live Text feeds, but they cannot view or change schedules, groups, or devices. This role is best suited for those tasked solely with creating content for BrightSign players.

General Managers

GeneralManagershave full control of content creation and distribution. They can log in to the network whenever they wish to check that pricing and product information is correct, and change, reassign, or reschedule presentations at any location.

The only permissions they don’t have are the user and account features that are unique to Administrators. 

Network Managers

NetworkManagers control the company’s digital-signage infrastructure: a user assigned to this role can add, remove, maintain, and group together networked BrightSign players. In addition, they can view and delete (but not add or edit) certain kinds of content such as Dynamic Playlists, Live Text feeds, and presentations. 

Someone assigned to this role might maintain BrightSign players, buy and set up additional players, and periodically clear the network of old presentations and drafts.

Publishers

Publishers can schedule when and where BrightSign presentations will be played and upload content. They do not have access to content that is uploaded to the company’s BSN.Cloud account.

For example, this role could be assigned to a member of the marketing department, who determines when sales will be announced, as well as what day of the week certain specials will be offered.

Viewers

Viewers can view almost all aspects of a digital-signage system: content, groups, hardware statuses, logs, and schedules. However, they cannot affect anything on the company’s BSN.Cloud account.

Assigning System Roles

  1. Go to Admin > Roles in BrightAuthor:connected (you must be signed in to BSN.cloud).

  2. Select the column at the top of the listing and select/deselect the type of permissions to add or delete.
