How to add members to a channel

How to add members to a channel

  • Under your account name in the upper right corner, select ‘My Channels’ to go to the channels page.
  • Find the channel to which you'd like to add members, mouse over the channel and click on the pencil icon 'Edit' link.
  • Click on the 'Members' tab in the channel's settings to see a list of current members of the channel. Note: if you need to change a users permissions or remove a user from the channel, you can use the corresponding buttons next to each person's name in this list.
  • Click the 'Add Member' button on the right side of the page to open the add member dialog.
  • Enter the netID for the user you'd like to add to the channel; to do so, begin typing the user's name or NetID in the 'Enter user name' field and use the auto complete drop-down to select the user. Note: if the user has not logged into Illinois Media Space before, you will not be able to add them as a user.
  • Set the permissions that the user will have in the channel–there are four possible choices:
    Member
    View channel content only.
    Contributor
    View channel content and add media to the channel.
    Moderator
    View channel content, add media to the channel, and moderate the channel.
    Manager
    View channel content, add media to the channel, moderate the channel, and manage the channel (edit channel setting and edit channel membership).
  • Click 'Add' to add the user to the channel with the specified permission.
Note: Permissions are not inherited.  A Manager of a channel cannot edit or publish the videos in it, unless they have roles in the individual media.  Also, shared repositories allow members of a channel to publish the videos without other privileges.
