Duplicate Videos into a Channel

To be able to duplicate a video into a channel, users need more than only the "Duplicate video" right. This is due to the fact that in the framework of the "Ownership" feature, videos and channels are assigned to a group and therefore may have different associated rights for access. In the following, all necessary rights are listed.

Rights on the video that needs to be duplicated:

  • View videos

  • Duplicate videos

Rights on the channel in which the duplicated video should be placed:

  • View channels

  • Add videos to/ remove videos from channel

  • Upload videos.

A channel selection is available when a video is duplicated in VideoManager. Thereby, the selection of channels is defined according to the permissions.
