Access role permissions

To modify the permission settings for each role in your organization, select the ADMIN icon and navigate to the Settings tab. 

Types of roles

Multi-license organizations have four default roles:

• Owner - This is the primary owner of the organization that has full administrative access to manage the members, modify role permissions, and change settings in the Global tab. There is only one Owner account per organization. 
• Admin - This role provides access to the Admin tab to manage the members and modify role permissions.
• Teacher - This role allows users to create and manage Groups. 
• Student - This role only allows users to access their media and projects. 

Custom roles

To create a new custom role, right-click an existing role and select "Duplicate" to copy its properties.

Enter the title you would like to use for the new custom role. 

The new custom role will then appear on the left-hand side of the Settings tab alongside the rest of the roles. 

 

Global settings

Only the license owner can adjust the global settings. These permission changes on this page will affect all users in the license.

• Predefined domains: add the domains that can be added to the license through the CSV upload, links, or codes.
• Essentials Library: Whether to show users the professionally-sourced stock media in the WeVideo Essentials Library.
• Templates: Whether to show the templates to users.
• Gallery Settings: Enable the Gallery/Playlist in the license and adjust the privacy and title for the gallery/playlist. If the playlist/gallery is set to public but the videos in it are set to private, those private videos will not be visible to the public when the playlist is shared.
• Predefined Destinations: Users can send their completed projects to the FTP or Facebook Media Library. Admins can provide a predefined location or allow users to control the destinations.
• Other: Adjust whether admins can change users' passwords and whether to apply blur to the project automatically if the clips are smaller than the frame.
