This page will walk you through BSN.Cloud permissions system using the scenario of a hypothetical chain of shops. You will learn how to create and edit Custom Roles for a digital-signage system of 25 shops spread out over a large geographical area.

Your company has 25 shops in multiple states, and the central office has many more employees. Though BSN.Cloud’s System Roles have worked well, they are no longer able to serve a large group of users with diverse roles and responsibilitiesCustom Roles let you maintain a digital-signage system with minutely tailored user roles and responsibilities across many locations.

Creating Custom Roles

Since there are nearly 70 many individual permissions, it is often easiest to base a Custom Role on one of the preexisting System Roles:

  1. In BrightAuthor:connected, go the Admin tab and select Role (you must be signed in to BSN.cloud).

  2. Go to the gear icon at the top right of the page and select Add Role.

  3. Enter a name and (optional) description for the Custom Rolerole.

  4. Copy the You can copy all permissions from an existing a selected roleor if you do not do this, all permissions will be set to off, or define the new role permissions from scratch.

  5. Select Add Role. You Once the role has been created, you can select the check boxes to add or remove additional permissions.

Custom Roles Examples

Accountants

The user in charge of accounts payable needs to keep track of the invoices that are generated by BSN.Cloud. Since they are not otherwise involved in the digital signage network, create a Custom Role without copying permissions from a System Role, so all permissions are set to off. When the role has been created, turn on only the necessary permissions in the Device Subscriptioncategory permissions.

Presentation Creators/Live Text Creators

The responsibility for creating and editing menu boards is now split between two employees. The graphic designer is still in charge of uploading new editions of the menu boards, but the Live Text feeds used for special deals are maintained by an employee from the marketing department. The graphic designer integrates Live Text into the menus, but does not update the Live Text herself. The default Creators role no longer reflects how their responsibilities are divided.default Creators role can be subdivided if, as your organization grows larger, the responsibilities for content creation is divided. The easiest way to deal with slight variations in System Roles is to use the Copy Permissions From feature when creating Custom Roles. In this case, you can create both a Presentation Creators and a Live Text Creators role based on the default Creators role.  To create Presentation Creators, copy copy the permissions from the base Creators System Role and deny full control to role and then divide permissions for Live Text Feeds. To create Live Text Creators, copy permissions from the Creators System Role and deny full control to Content, Dynamic Playlist, and Presentation .

Senior Network Managers

If the Network Manager needs to add and edit schedules as well as maintaining the player network, modify the default permissions of the Network Manager to enable “Add Presentation” and “Remove Presentation” in the Schedule category. Because actions like adding and editing schedules are a composite of different operations, you will also need to enable “Change Schedule” in the Group category and “Add Presentation” and “Remove Presentation” in the Presentation category. You have now expanded the permissions of your Network Manager without having to enable full control of an operations category.

This user is not involved with content revisions and updates, so do not give them control of adding or removing the presentations on a scheduleand other Content operations.
