Overview

Access Groups enable you to assign specific MCS features and settings to a group, allowing you to restrict user access to certain areas. These features and settings include Resources and Devices such as Channels, Outputs, Layouts, and the Penalty Box.

The primary purpose of Access Groups is to manage and control user access to various MCS resources and devices.

Note:

If a channel (source) contains sub-channels, the Access Group can only be configured in the Groups field of the parent channel's in Source Configuration. All sub-channels will automatically inherit the parent channel's Access Group. As a result:

  • Sub-channels cannot remove the inherited Access Group from their Groups field.

  • Sub-channels cannot add new Access Groups within their Groups field.

The Access Group must be configured exclusively at the parent channel level. This behavior also applies to the Both group type.

For sub-channels, only groups with the types Resource or None can be configured in the Groups field.

  1. In Outputs:

    1. Navigate to Outputs → Output Config.
