Kaltura, Adding collaborators

Using the collaboration tool, you can manage other users' permissions to edit, publish, or merely view your media.

How to add collaborators

Q: Can multiple netids "own" a video in Kaltura? 

A: Only one netid is the owner of record, but there are methods to add collaborators that will let others publish videos and edit metadata.

Collaborator roles you can assign:

Co-Editor
Co-editors have the permission to edit the metadata associated with your media. Co-editors have all the same metadata options as owners except the 'Collaboration' tool.
Co-Publisher
Co-publishers have the permission to publish the media anywhere that the co-publishing user has the rights to publish.
Co-Viewer
Co-viewers can view media, even if you have not published it.

To add a collaborator:

  • Navigate to your 'My Media' page. You will see your media arranged in a list. On the right side of the page, each entry will have a pencil icon 'Edit' button. Select this to edit the media.
    You will also find an edit button on any page where you can view media that you own. It will be below the video on the right, in the 'Actions' drop-down menu.
  • Note: If you have a large number of collaborators to add, the Kaltura team can assist you. Please email consult@illinois.edu with the media ID, the NetIDs of the collaborators to be added, and what role the should have.
