Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director deployments normally have a team of people who are responsible for different aspects of the site setup and event operation. For example, in addition to a system administrator, there is usually an event operator, a content manager, and a technical support person, among other personnel. Each person has different skills and needs for working with the Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director software.
The Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director software implements Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to control permissions and user access to only the portions of the system for which they are trained and authorized to use. More than one user can be assigned to the same role in the software. However, only a single role can be assigned to each username.
For more details about RBAC in a multi-venue environment, see Role-Based Access Control for Hierarchical Management of Multiple Venues.
This section includes the following topics:
Note: This section describes the primary (or central) Administrator role in a Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director system. A Venue Administrator has a subset of administrative permissions that are authorized on a per-venue basis. See Table 2.
The primary Administrator role has unrestricted access to the Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director software, and is the only role that can add users and assign RBAC privileges to them. The Administrator role is pre-configured in Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director and cannot be deleted. However, you can change the password. You also can have more than one user assigned with Administrator privileges.
The Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director administrator is the person who is responsible for deploying the Cisco Vision solution throughout the venue.
The primary administrator has sufficient permissions to do the following functions:
■Installing, upgrading, backing up, and restoring Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director servers.
■Associating objects (including Venue Operators and Venue Administrators) to venues.
Note: Users assigned to the Administrator role have global access to all venues in a multi-venue environment. Venue Administrators only have access to those venues for which they are authorized by a primary Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director administrator.
■Creating additional users and assigning roles.
■Adding devices to Cisco Vision Director.
■Configuring the channel lineup (Content Managers can also configure this area).
■Configuring local control areas such as luxury suites, back offices, and bars.
■Configuring Point of Sale (POS).
■Generating Proof of Play (PoP).
■Configuring the Dynamic Menu Board application.
■Configuring the TV Off custom application.
■Configuring Device Management, including rebooting DMPs and controlling TVs.
Table 1 provides an overview of the roles that can be assigned by the Administrator in Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director. For a complete mapping of permissions by role, see Table 2.

Content Managers are responsible for uploading content and ads provided by the creative services team. ■They create event scripts so that the correct content displays in the proper area of the venue and the proper area of the TV screen according to the specified schedule. ■The content manager role has permissions in Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director to configure event states/scripts, zones, groups, screen templates, playlists, and tickers. ■Content managers also can assign gadgets for custom menus and create playlists for those menus. |
Event Operators run the Cisco Vision Director event scripts during an event. The event operator role has permissions to start and stop scripts and modify their states. ■They can change the transition of an event state from time-based to manual, move an event into one of the three ad hoc states (Inside Emergency, Outside Emergency, or Delay), and approve ticker content (legacy version). ■Additionally, the event operator keeps track of which break states have played and is responsible for performing the pre-game walk-through. |
|
Facility Operators have access only to the TV Off application. ■The facility operator must access this application directly using the http:// ipaddress :9090/web/sv/home, where ipaddress is the IP Address of the Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director server. |
|
Help Desk users have read-only permissions to view and monitor information on the System Configuration and to use Device Management. This role does not have permissions in the System Configuration > User Administration, except to change their own password. |
|
Support users are responsible for first-level technical support. ■They have limited access to the System Configuration to monitor DMP status, troubleshoot, and manage the DMPs on the Cisco Vision network. They also have access to Device Management. ■The support role does not have permissions in the System Configuration > User Administration, except to change their own password. |
|
Venue Administrators have limited permissions at the venues authorized by the central Administrator for that user, for the following areas of Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director: Note: New System Configuration and Device Management functionality is added for the Venue Administrator. –The Venue Administrator can issue all DMP and TV commands. –Read-only access with limited command support. –The Venue Administrator can run the Reboot Device command from Device Management to restart DMPs. ■System Configuration > Devices (Display Specifications only); Read-only access to Groups & Zones, Channels, Luxury Suites. |
|
Venue Operators have script control only, and only for venues authorized by the central Administrator for that user. ■In the System Configuration, venue operators can view and monitor information on the System Configuration with read-only access to the venues for which permissions are granted. ■They also have access to Device Management. Note: Venue Operators and Venue Administrators are the only roles that have venue-specific permissions. For more information, see the Configuring Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director for Multiple Venue Support |
Table 2 provides a summary of the areas of access in the Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director software by each user role.
Note: “Yes” indicates that the user role has access to the corresponding functional area, and “—” means that the role does not have authorization there.
