Managing access to podcasts

Note: To complete these procedures, you must be assigned a role having the necessary permissions. To determine your role, follow the directions in Participant roles. For a basic understanding of roles and permissions, see Permissions and roles: Overview.

With the Podcasts tool, you can restrict access to your podcasts to site participants only, or you can make them available to the public. You can also edit permissions, and define who is allowed to create, revise, and delete podcasts.

Managing access to your podcasts

2. Near the top, click Options, and choose one of the following:
   
   
   • To provide public access to your podcasts through a podcatcher, choose Display to non-members (publicly viewable).
   • To restrict access to site participants only, and to disable access through a podcatcher, choose Display to site.
   
   
3. When you're finished, click Save Changes.
