About User Roles and Privileges
The following table describes the user roles that are available in Cisco Show and Share. Users may have
more than one role. For example, in many installations video authors are also video publishers and live
event users.
Users can also have one or more of the administrator roles listed at the bottom of the table. Administrator
functions are described in the Administrator Guide for Cisco Show and Share 5.3.x.
Administrators can enable or disable certain features globally or restrict their access to a subset of users.
The logic works like this:
• No one can use what an administrator has hidden from everyone.
• You must log in to use what an administrator has reserved for registered users.
• When you are logged in, you cannot use anything whose access rights exclude you.
To gain access to features that have been restricted to registered users by the site administrator, and to
be able to upload, record, and edit videos, you must log in to Cisco Show and Share and have the
privileges to perform those actions.
