Backend user settings

All settings described in the Editors manual 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 and Allowed exclude fields for more information.

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 for more information.
