  • Article

The WMS Publishing ACL Authorization plug-in is used to control access to your content based on the permissions you have set on your publishing points. You can configure the following options on the General tab for this plug-in.

Item Description

Name

Displays the users and groups that are allowed to access content on your server. Do any of the following:

  • Click Add to add a user or group to the list.

  • Click Remove to remove the selected user or group from the list.

Permissions

Read

Select either the Allow or Deny check box to set whether the user or group can read data from your server.

Write

Select either the Allow or Deny check box to set whether the user or group can write data to your server. You must select both Write and Create to allow a user or group to create a publishing point.

Create

When setting permission levels for a server, select either the Allow or Deny check box to set whether the user or group can create publishing points on your server.

When setting permission levels for a publishing point, select either the Allow or Deny check box to set whether the user or group can use this publishing point as a template for creating other publishing points on your server when pushing content from an encoder.

You must select both Write and Create to allow a user or group to create a publishing point. Create permissions alone are not sufficient to create a new publishing point.
