BrightSign Network WebUI Permissions User Guide v.1.0 - Manual (Page 11)

Note: If you do not copy permissions, you will need to set up permissions manually by dragging and dropping the role
name into each Operations category. When you do this, the permissions will be automatically set to “Allow.” If you don’t
add the role to an Operations category, the permissions for that category remain set to “Deny” by default.
Using Custom Roles
Accountants
The accountant in charge of accounts payable needs to keep track of the invoices that are automatically generated by the
BrightSign network. He is not involved in the digital signage network in any other way.
In this case, it would be best to create a custom role without copying permissions from a default role. As stated above, all
permissions are set to “Deny” by default if you choose not to copy permissions from another role. Therefore, all you need
to do is create a new role and leave the Copy Permissions From box unchecked. You can then drag the new custom
role into the Subscription category.
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 zones into the menus, but does
not update the Live Text herself. The Creators default role no longer reflects how their responsibilities are divided.
The easiest way to deal with slight variations in default 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 permissions from the default role and deny full control to
Live Text Feeds. To create Live Text Creators, copy permissions from the default role and deny full control to Content,
Dynamic Playlist, and Presentation.
