Adding Users for VidiEditor [VE 21.4 OG]

To enable users from VidiCore to use VidiEditor, the corresponding VidiCore rights need to be set. As a result, VidiEditor comes with a default user group storing all necessary rights. If a user should use VidiEditor, it can just be mapped to this group.

• me_user group
  User needs to be in me_user group to use VidiEditor. “me_user” group will be automatically created during deployment. See User Groups, Roles and Metadata.
  

• Necessary rights
  All necessary rights (roles in Vidispine) are included in the me_user group. See Roles.
  

How to add a user

• Create a new user in Vidispine.

  CODE

  POST /user?passwordType=raw
  Host: {VidinetEndpoint}/API
  Content-Type: application/xml
  
  <UserDocument xmlns="http://xml.vidispine.com/schema/vidispine">
    <userName>username</userName>
    <realName>user name</realName>
    <password>password</password>
  </UserDocument>

  • Add any existing Vidispine user to me_user group, so that they can use VidiEditor.

    CODE

    PUT /group/me_user/user/{username} 
    Host: {VidinetEndpoint}/API
