Provisioning of players can be done for free using either BrightAuthor:connected or the unbranded bsn.Control interface at control.bsn.cloud. However, since control.bsn.cloud is the interface preferred by most partners, this guide will largely focus on using control.bsn.cloud. |

Setups can be created using the free and unbranded bsn.Control interface at control.bsn.cloud. Setups can be saved to the Setup Library to be used or modified in the future.
