Users and User Types - HDOnTap Streaming Service

Overview

The HDOnTap Portal supports multiple user types to allow granular controls and access according to your needs. As such, not every user will be able to see, access or control various parts of the Portal.

User types

• Customer Admins can access everything in the Portal, including updating customer information, adding new users, adding devices, determining permissions and more.
• Customer Users have more limited access and are not able to edit or change critical information, such as customer information or devices.

Prerequisites

• You must have your Portal login. Contact your Customer Administrator or HDOnTap Support if you need assistance with your Portal credentials.
