Similar to folder permissions, you can customize permission levels for any Channel via the Share dropdown menu.

In the Share dropdown menu, select “Share link” to copy a unique share URL for your Channel.

The following access levels are available for Channel links and embeds:

If viewers hit a login or error page on an Unlocked channel, your account likely has domain restrictions enabled. For security purposes, Channels can't be opened via share link when that setting is on. Embed the Channel on an allowed domain instead, or ask an Account Owner to adjust the domain restrictions setting.

When set to “Unlocked,” anyone with a link to the Channel can view it, including anonymous viewers.

A Channel can be locked with the password or invited users setting. These options give you more control over who can access your Channel content.

Viewers must enter the set password to access the Channel, whether it is embedded or shared via a direct link.

Viewers will be prompted to enter the password upon visiting the Channel URL or embed.

The Invited users share option ensures that only invited users who are logged into Wistia can access the Channel.

Account Owners and Managers can access all Channels. Standard and Limited Users can be given access to Channels, with varying levels of permission. Standard Users can access any channel they've created and invite new users to view and collaborate. Read more about user roles here.

When sharing a link or embedding with the Invited users access option, visitors will see a login button on your site.

Upon clicking the button, they will be directed to wistia.com to complete the login flow.

After authentication:

To add a user or user group to a Channel, click into the "Share" dropdown menu, and then select "Invite collaborators."

From here, start typing in the email address of the user(s) you'd like to add. If you're adding an existing user, you can type their name to do so. For a new user, type out their email and then click their email, or press enter. If you'd like to add a group, type out the group name here.

Both existing Standard and Limited Users can be added to a Channel. Check out the Subscriptions tab of your account's Billing page or our plans page to confirm your user limit. You can also purchase additional users.

Once you've selected users or a user group, you can choose which permission level they have.

If you choose to notify users, you can customize the subject line and message in the email.

When you're ready to send the invitation, click "Send."

Once added, you can see a list of users, or user groups, in the "Invite collaborators" modal.

You'll also see an "Account managers" option here. Click this option to view a list of the Account Owners and Managers who already have access to the Channel.

Additionally, you can choose permissions for the "Anyone in my Wistia account" option. You can set this to No access, Can view, or Can manage.

After inviting collaborators, you can change their permissions at any time by clicking into the dropdown menu.

Once you're ready to exit the Invite collaborators modal, click "Done."

To remove a user from a Channel, click the three dots icon and then "Remove."

When complete, click "Done."
