Archive Permissions
The Archive Permissions Screen Archives > Archive Permissions is used to control user and set-top box access to Archives and the
folders contained within Archives. By default User Access is disabled for an Archive. This means that any user can carry out any
operation on the archive and its contents. To control access to an Archive proceed as follows:
1.
Choose the Archive to restrict from the Select a Service drop down and click Load.
2.
Change the Archive User Access Control setting from No to Yes and click Apply. Now Access Control has been enabled for an
Archive. No users can access content in that Archive.
3.
To give users access to a folder, expand the User Groups heading in the User Groups column and choose a User Group.
4.
Expand the Archive and folder to give access to in the Archive Contents column such as the Content folder.
5.
Drag the chosen user group and drop it under the folder where you see the text Drop a user group here. The Permission
column is now enabled. This column shows all permissions available to this user group on this folder. The available permissions
are show in the Archive Permissions table.
Enable the permissions required and click Apply. To remove this user group and revoke all its permissions click Remove.
There is a special user group called AMX-STB-VIRTUAL-USERGROUP which controls access for set-top box users, this is shown in
blue. This group only has one permission, the View permission, as set-top boxes are unable to carry out any other actions on
Archive contents. To allow set-top box users to view published MPEG2 or MP3 media in a particular folder, give the AMX-STB-
VIRTUAL-USERGROUP view permission on that folder.
NOTE: To update set-top-box permissions, navigate away from the main menu on the set-top box using the set-top box controller.
Press and hold the menu button to update Archive Permission changes.
