# Backend user settings {#backend-user-settings}

All settings described in the [Editors manual](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/traw/video-vtt:user-manual@2.9) are configured as exclude fields.

This means each field must be explicitly allowed for the editor user or user group.

> [!NOTE]
> See [Backend user permissions](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3coreapi:setting-up-user-permissions) and [Allowed exclude fields](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3coreapi:access-lists-allowed-excludefields) for more information.

## Allow text-tracks and video controls {#allow-text-tracks-and-video-controls}

Switch to the **Backend Users > Backend user groups** module

Edit the appropriate user group and switch to the **Access Rights** tab.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> To add or modify tracks and time-based data, the group must have permission to list (read) and modify (write) the `File Metadata` table.
>
> To add or modify poster images and video controls, the group must have permission to list (read) and modify (write)  the `File Reference` table.
>
> See [Table permissions](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3coreapi:access-lists-tables) for more information.

In the `Allowed excludefields` section of the same group, follow these steps to enable the necessary fields:

1.  Go to the `File Metadata` table. Here, the administrator decides which fields the editor is allowed to see and use. Allow the following fields:

-   Poster Image (poster) \[sys_file_metadata:poster\]
-   Text Tracks and Time-based Data (tracks) \[sys_file_metadata:tracks\]

1.  Go to the `File Reference` table. The administrator determines which fields are accessible to the editor. Allow the following fields:

    -   -   **Video/ Audio Controls:**

            -   Loop Video / Audio (loop) \[sys_file_reference:loop\]
            -   Muted (mute) \[sys_file_reference:mute\]
            -   Show Controls (controls) \[sys_file_reference:controls\]
            -   Show info (showinfo) \[sys_file_reference:showinfo\]
            -   Picture in picture (picinpic) \[sys_file_reference:picinpic\]
            -   Controls List (Chromium Browsers) (controlslist) \[sys_file_reference:controlslist\]
            -   Start video at (start_time)
            -   End video at (end_time)
            -   Video subtitles language (lang)
    -   -   **Poster Image:**

            -   Poster Image (Override Poster from Metadata) (poster) \[sys_file_reference:poster\]
    -   -   **Tracks and time-based data:**

            -   Default attribute (track_default) \[sys_file_reference:track_default\]
            -   Track label (track_label) \[sys_file_reference:track_label\]
            -   Track language (track_language) \[sys_file_reference:track_language\]
            -   Track type (track_type) \[sys_file_reference:track_type\]
