Content Administration Access Control
In certain situations, distinct groups may handle content management and publishing, without requiring rights to other content in the application. In these cases, a multiple studio configuration will access control content administration. This configuration limits an administrator's content management rights solely to the studio(s) they have been given permission to access.
Understanding Studios
Each Studio is an isolated bucket of content (media files and associated metadata) that can be published to the same configured set of Shows or Destinations. Under a multi-studio configuration, administrators can be granted access to one, multiple, or all studios, with each Studio having only one Studio Owner.
User Permissions and Roles
A single user can have access to one or many Studios, with their permissions for each Studio determined by their assigned role. For example: If a user is an Owner of Studio 1 and a Member of Studios 2 and 3, they will only be able to invite admin users (new or existing) to Studio 1, but will be able to manage content and see content analytics for Studios 1, 2, and 3.
Important Distinctions
- Access to the uStudio Administration applications (Hub and uStudio Management Console) is separate and distinct from access to the mobile and desktop audience applications
- The multi-studio configuration exclusively impacts content management - when content is published from a single studio, it can be accessed globally by the audience or restricted based on audience groups
- Restricting content to specific audience groups is a function that is entirely separate from Studios and based on audience groups.
Best Practices: For governance, we recommend the Streaming Program Owner has, at minimum, Studio Member permission to all Studios.
Please note: When a show is moved to a different Studio, the analytics and followers will not transition to the new Studio.
