Access

The Access tab allows you to access the direct link, modify the default user role and add users from your company to the room.

All users who have access to the selected room and who are members of your company can enter the room via the direct link. The user skips the start page and enters the room directly.

  • Click on the button.
  • Send the link to the members of your company who you would like to join the room, using a communication medium of your choice.

The direct links can only be used by users who are listed as active users in theĀ user management. Users must log in with their account details to verify that they are authorised to access the room.

Default user role

If you grant users access to a room and do not select a specific role, they are automatically assigned the default user role.

  • From the drop down menu, select Admin, Moderator, Participant, Spectator or Guest to specify which role should be used as the default user role.

Add users

You can add individual users from your Company to an alfaview room. You can either assign the default user role to the users or select a specific role. If no default user role is defined for the room, access or permissions must be defined individually for each user.

  • Click on the button.
  • Find and select a user from the search box.
  • Choose theĀ permission group.
  • Click on the button.

The user is now listed under Specific users.

The user permissions override the default permissions. A typical application is to set the default permission Participant and define individual users as Moderator or Admin.
