The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product. Learn more about how Cisco is using Inclusive Language.
Note Although visible in the Cisco DMM user interface, Release 5.5 and 5.6 software does not support Cisco Digital Signs, Cisco Digital Media Players (DMPs), Cisco Cast, Cisco Digital Media Designer, or the Cisco Digital Media Player Device Manager.

Q. What might prevent a user from logging in to DMM with an account that I created in DMS-Admin?
By default, DMS-Admin assigns all newly created user accounts to a user role called “ReadOnly.” Users with this role cannot log in to DMM. To grant this right to users, you must assign module-specific rights to them in Digital Signs or Show and Share Administration. Afterward, their user role changes to “Admin.”
