MiVideo KMC Admin: Update Mediaspace Navigation

Environment

MiVideo Mediaspace (KMS) Admin Console

The Mediaspace Admin Console allows a KMS administrator to configure settings and user/group management for a specific KMS.

Issue

How Mediaspace site admins can update the navigation in a Mediaspace (KMS) site.

Resolution

Considerations

  • There isn’t a way to reorder menu items. To add a menu item to the middle of the menu, create a new item and move the values from the above item below and repeat as necessary.
  • Private channels in the navigation will display an “access denied” message when accessed by a user who is not authenticated on the site and does not have a channel entitlement. Restricted channels will display an “access denied” message when accessed by a user who is not authenticated. 
  • Use allowedGroups to restrict who is able to see the menu item. You must have MCommunity or AD (for MichMed) groups configured in the samlgroupsync module.

Accessing the Mediaspace Admin Console

Navigate to the mediaspace_URL/admin

Navigation module

Once your channels are created, they can be added to the site navigation.

Example: the HR Mediaspace has several menu and submenu items.
