Introduction

The Administration area of VideoManager Pro provides you with the tools you need to manage your users, rights, and security policies.

User and Rights Management

You can create user accounts with different access permissions and user rights. This ensures that each user only has access to the data and features that they need. You can also set a global security policy for all uploaded videos.

Account Overview

The Account overview gives you a quick overview of your account status, including the number of users, videos, and channels.

In the administration area, click Account to view your VideoManager account details, including your VideoManager ID, global settings, and quota usage.

The Quota pane shows your current usage against your booked capacities for monthly traffic, video storage, number of users, and number of groups. Red highlights indicate that you may need to book additional capacity to avoid fees.

Use the Traffic CSV Export feature to export a CSV file of traffic information for a specified range of dates.

The bottom list shows a more detailed overview of traffic and video storage consumption (in minutes and storage space) per group.

The following global settings apply to the entire VideoManager by default. Video-specific settings will take precedence over global settings.

Standard language: The language selected here will be the default language for new users.
Thumbnail timepoint: This indicates the default time in a video from which initial thumbnails will be generated.
Global security policy: This allows you to apply a security policy to all videos by default.
