Teams and Roles ​

A team lets several people share your Pixelview encoders and projects, each with their own login and role.

RoleCapabilities
OwnerEverything an Admin can do, plus billing and account ownership. The Owner can make another member Owner and cannot be removed.
AdminManage team members, shared resources, encoders, and settings.
EditorCreate/manage projects, stream settings, invites, and live review operation.

Give each person the lowest role that fits their work, and keep the Owner role to trusted account owners.

Create a team ​

  1. Sign in to Pixelview Admin with your email and open the Account page.
  2. Click Create Team.
  3. Enter a Team Name and, under Share Encoders, tick the encoders the team should use.
  4. Click Create Team.

The team member gets an email and must sign in, or create an account, with the invited address. Until they accept, the invite is listed under Pending Invitations. Invitations expire if they are not accepted.

Once they accept, they can use the team's encoders, projects, stream monitoring, viewer invites, and the address book of saved email addresses.

Enable auto-join adds everyone who signs up with an email address on your domain to the team automatically.

Change a role or remove a member ​

In Manage Team, use the menu next to a member under Team Members to change their role or remove them. Removed members lose access to all team encoders. To cancel an invitation that has not been accepted, click Revoke under Pending Invitations.

Remove people when a project or employment ends. Each person has their own login, so removing one does not affect anyone else.

Shared encoders ​

Each encoder is one stream that can run at the same time as the others, so facilities usually create one per room and name it after the room, such as Color 1, Edit Bay 2 or Client Review. Team members with access can create projects, change stream settings and run sessions on it.

For a team logo on viewer screens, see Branding and Pause Screen. For a full facility setup, see Facility and Team Review Workflow. Turn on two-factor authentication for Admin and Owner accounts in Security Settings on the Account page; see Security Best Practices.
