Channel Membership Levels
Channel members may have one of four access levels:
- Member: this access level allows the member to only view content.
- Contributor: this access level allows the member to view and add content to a channel. Content added to the channel may be subject to moderation, if the channel is configured to require moderation.
- Moderator: this access level allows the member to view and add content. The member can approve content additions to a channel that requires moderation.
- Manager: this access level provides administrator permissions and is the same level as the channel owner. Managers may add, update or delete content and members.
We recommend that you exercise caution when granting anyone Contributor, Moderator, or Manager permission to your channel.
To Add a Member to a Channel
IMPORTANT: before you may add a member to a channel, the member must log in to Video on Demand (VOD) at least once. VOD accounts are created when members first log in to the system. Until then members do not have VOD accounts. If someone has never logged in to VOD, their NetID will not be recognized by VOD and you will not be able to add them as a member.
