Setting Brightcove User Access Controls

In order to set user access controls:  You must have an Administrator role.

Upon registration, your Brightcove user account automatically assigns you an Administrator role unless you have been pre-assigned another user role (Financial, Production, or Programmer) by an administrator for your organization.

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.


To set user access controls from the Brightcove Console:

  1. Click the My Account link in the upper right, above the Console tabs.

  2. Re-enter your password and click OK to confirm your identity.

  3. Click User Accounts in the upper right.

  4. Select a Role from the pull-down menu—whether Administrator, Financial, Production, or Programmer.
    If you’re uncertain about the permission implications of a particular role: See Summary of User Roles.

  5. Click the Update button in the lower right.
