Chapter: Manage Categories
Manage Categories
About Categories
You can create subject categories that apply organizational logic to your collection of videos. Authors and publishers can assign one or more categories to their videos. Categories can contain other categories and viewers can use the categories to filter their video listing.
After you create categories, they appear next to the Featured Videos browser.
Prerequisites
- You must have the Category Administrator role to create and manage categories. You can only manage categories that you create. You cannot see categories created by other category administrators.
- You must use the superuser account to move, rename, and delete any category created by other category administrators. Additionally, the superuser can reassign category ownership from one user to another.
