The System Roles for the BrightSign Network correspond to the user permissions system in BrightAuthor. |
Overview
You are the systems administrator for a small chain of five donut shops located around the city. The chain has just replaced all of their chalkboards used for menus, special offers, and announcements with digital displays powered by BrightSign players, which are linked to the company’s BrightSign Network account. There are many employees who need to use the network in order to keep the store menus and special offers up-to-date. You are faced with several personnel and security challenges when configuring the network, all of which can be solved using the System Roles provided with every BrightSign Network account.

Being assigned to the Administrators role gives you access to all the features offered on the BrightSign Network. This is the only role that allows you to edit the account status of other users: as a member of Administrators, you can add new users, delete existing users, and assign users to different roles; furthermore, you can create and edit Custom Roles, a feature that will be explained in the Intermediate section of this document.

The first user of a BrightSign Network account will automatically be assigned to the Administrators role. If you are not the first user on your account, you will need to have the user who is assign you to the Administrators role. |

Using Object Permissions
Store Managers
The company wants to give individual store managers some leeway in deciding which deals they want to promote—after all, they have the best idea what donuts are most popular in their neighborhood. Store managers need the ability to view various presentations and schedule them for the BrightSign players located in their store. However, assigning them a Custom Role based on Publishers does not completely solve this problem: they have access to the presentation schedules of every store in the nation, not just their own, and they might accidentally delete or modify them.
...
Keep in mind that there are other factors beside object permissions that can limit access to a presentation or other object. For example, you can give a user full permissions for a Dynamic Playlist object, but that user will not be able to save content changes to that Dynamic Playlist if the role restricts the “Assign Content” action in the Content permissions category.
