Similar to folder permissions, you can customize permission levels for any Channel via the “Share” modal.
Share via Link
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:
Unlocked: Anyone with the link can view.
Password: Requires a password to view.
Invited users: Only logged-in users can view via an email invitation.
Unlocked
When set to “Unlocked,” anyone with a link to the Channel can view it, including anonymous viewers.
Password
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.
Invited users
The “Invited users” share option ensures that only invited users who are logged in to Wistia can access the Channel.
Account Owners and Managers can access all Channels. Standard and Limited Users can be given access to Channels. Standard Users can access any Channel they've created and invite new users to view and collaborate. Read more about user roles here.
Invite Collaborators
To add a user 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 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.
Note
Any new user created in a Channel will default to a Limited User. Both existing Standard and Limited Users can be added to a Channel.
Note
Standard Users can add users to any Channels they've created.
If you've selected a user by accident or changed your mind, hover over their name and click the "x" to remove them.
Once you've selected users, you can choose which permission level they have.
Can view: users with this permission level can view the Channel page and embeds.
Can manage: this permission level can take all actions in a Channel, from customizing and publishing episodes, to deleting a Channel
Note
The invite modal is set to "Can manage" by default.
Notify people
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 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.
After adding a user, 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."
Remove users
To remove a user from a Channel, click the three dots icon and then "Remove."
When complete, click "Done."
