Channel User Permission Levels

Channel users may have one of four permission levels:

  • Member: This access level allows the user to view content only.
  • Contributor: This access level allows the user 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 user to view and add content. The user 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 users.

Add a User to a Channel

  1. Open your My Channels page.


     
  2. On the My Channels page, click Edit (the pencil icon) on the channel's thumbnail. (The icon is only visible when your cursor is over the channel's thumbnail.)

  3. Click Users.


     
  4. Click + Add Users.

     
  5. In the Add Users window, type the user's NetID into the user name field. Do not include "@cornell.edu". Then select the user's permission level for the channel and click Add.

The user list will be displayed. From this list you can, as needed, change permission levels, delete users, and transfer channel ownership to another user.
 

IMPORTANT: if you transfer ownership of your channel to another user, you will retain Manager permissions.
