Understanding Team Roles

Bamboo Cloud includes three team roles:

• Admin
• Manager
• Contributor

Each role provides a different level of access to the Bamboo Admin Dashboard.

Choose the role that gives users only the permissions they need for their responsibilities.

Admin

Admins have full access to the Bamboo account.

They can:

• Manage all content.
• Configure platform settings.
• Manage branding.
• Configure monetization.
• Manage domains and access.
• Add, edit, and remove team members.
• View all analytics.
• Access every area of the Admin Dashboard.

Manager

Managers are designed for users who manage content but should not change account-wide settings.

Managers can:

• Manage all content.
• View all analytics.
• Manage users.
• Team management.
• Use Player Studio.
• Access Content Settings.
• View all content in the account.

Managers cannot access:

• Platform settings.

• Email settings.

Contributor

Contributors are intended for content creators.

They can:

• Upload and manage videos.
• Create and manage live streams.
• Manage channels and playlists.
• Manage categories and talent.
• Use Playout.

Contributors can only access content they:

• Created themselves.
• Have been assigned by an Administrator or Manager.

Their dashboard also displays statistics for their own content only.

Assigning Roles

To assign a role:

1. Open Account → Team.
2. Create a new team member or edit an existing one.
3. Select the desired role.
4. Save your changes.

Users can only assign roles equal to or below their own role:

• Manager → Manager, Contributor
• Contributor → Contributor only

Bamboo Tips

• Give users the lowest level of access they need to perform their work.
• Use Contributor for content creators who shouldn't have access to platform settings.
• Use Manager for users who oversee content but don't need to configure your Bamboo account.
• Reserve the Admin role for trusted users responsible for managing the entire platform.
