Trainer’s Corner - Enabling Viewer Restrictions

We’ve added more functionality – and flexibility – around restricting viewer content.

With the most recent release of our mpx console, you get a new set of advanced features, specifically designed to help you control viewer access to your content. With more granular level control, you ensure that the right viewer is accessing the right content, at the right time, and with the right restrictions.

You can now restrict content based on availability dates and expiration dates, making it possible to control when media is available to partners and end users. You can also apply rules around content expiration.

You’ll find this new feature in our “Availability Window” panel under Restrictions. You can also layer restrictions by setting a start and stop date for enforcement. This gives you the ability to apply a restriction for a limited period of time before turning it off.

You can apply the restriction in the following ways:

  • Set the restriction on media to limit access on a per-user basis or across all of a content provider’s media
  • Set the restriction on a media public URL to limit access to that specific URL
  • Set the restriction on a feed to limit access at the feed URL
  • Include the restriction in a publish profile to set the restriction on all public URLs produced by that profile
  • Set the restriction on your account to limit access to all media and/or all feeds in your account
