User Guide for Cisco Digital Media Manager 5.4.x

Overview

After you assign users to the “Digital Signage Users” group in the Administration module at Administration > Users, you can manage their access rights and permission levels in the Network and Endpoints module at Network and Endpoints > Settings > User Accounts.

You can restrict the permissions that you grant to particular user accounts in DMM. For example, you might grant a user the permission to use only the advanced tasks that you choose or to deploy presentations to only the DMPs that you choose.

Note Each Cisco Cast user must have at least read-only permission to the “Cast” application, which pertains to the electronic program guide.
