Privileges

Access to the Media Control Center (MCC) is limited to the set of users that have been created for your organization. The MCC users for your organization are assigned a set of privileges by a MCC administrator. These privileges determine the set of pages that may be accessed by a user when he/she logs into the MCC and the set of actions that may be performed when leveraging our REST API.

Privileges only affect actions performed within the MCC or via our REST API. For example, although a user may not have permissions for the HTTP Large platform, he/she may still upload new content to the appropriate origin server and stream on-demand content through your account.

Privileges associated with a platform or service that has not been activated on your customer account will not be displayed. For example, notice that the Token Auth and Rules Engine privileges are not shown in the following illustration. These privileges are unavailable because the Token-Based Authentication and the Rules Engine features have not been activated on that customer account.

Please contact your CDN account manager to request the activation of additional services.

Privileges are organized according to how a user may navigate to the corresponding page. View the children associated with a privilege by clicking on it. A child privilege cannot be granted without its parent privilege. Therefore, granting a child privilege will automatically grant all of its parent privileges. This principle is illustrated in the above illustration. Granting the Compression privilege automatically granted both the ADN and the Cache Settings privileges.

icon indicates that a privilege contains one or more child privileges.

Key information:

Definitions

A description and the scope of each privilege are provided below.

Certain privileges only determine whether a menu item will be enabled. If a user navigates to that menu item, then the first child page, as determined by the order in which the permissions are listed below, for which that user has been granted access will be loaded. If all of the children of that parent privilege have been denied to that user, then the user will receive a message indicating insufficient access.
