Creating a custom role
Creating new roles in the platform is restricted to server administrator roles and not permitted without
product owner approval.
6.1.2
Assigning roles to users and defining the role scope
Once a role has been selected for a user, the second decision an administrator must make is to decide the
scope the user has access to. There are four possible scopes:
Server-wide – the top level of the server, above all domains. A user granted a role at the server
level will have those permissions on any encoder/user/group in any domain in the system.
A specific domain – assigning a user a domain-wide role will grant them the appropriate
permissions on any encoder/user/group in the specified domain.
A specific group of encoders – to limit a user to only using/administering a group of specific
encoders
A specific encoder – to limit a user to only using/administering one specific encoder
For example, the following table describes the effects of assigning a user one of the built-in roles (Server
Administrator, Domain Administrator, Encoder Administrator or Viewer) to each of the different scopes
(Server-wide, a specific domain, and a specific group/encoder):
