Your Brightcove User Account
- Upon registration, your Brightcove user account is automatically assigned by an Administrator. An administrator for your organization’s account can also create new user accounts for your organization. User accounts can be assigned different roles, such as Administrator, Production, and Programmer. (More info on roles and permissions)
- The Brightcove Console enables individual users to update the User Profile information for their account. For example: You might need to update your email address, if it has changed. Or, if the secrecy of your password has been compromised, you might need to change it.
To check whether you have an Administrator role: Click "My Account" in the upper right, re-enter your password, and then choose "User Accounts." Only administrators can access the User Accounts page.
Managing User Accounts for an Organization
- Administrators - In larger organizations, administrators set up and manage Brightcove user accounts. Administrators can create user accounts, remove user accounts, set user access controls, and change user permissions and roles.
- User roles/permissions - Full access (ability to edit), partial access (ability to read only) within the different areas of the Brightcove Console depend upon a user’s assigned role. (Summary of User Roles & Permissions)
