Bulk Editing Video Access

Use the Bulk Edit icon to modify the video access of several videos at once. Access may be modified to Public, All Users, Private or Teams just as if you are setting the access on one video at a time. You may also modify user account, group, and team access as well as edit access to several videos at once if needed.

Tip: See the Bulk Editing Video Settings topic if you are unclear on how the Bulk Edit interface works.

3. Select the videos you want to edit by clicking the checkbox to the left of each. You may also select all videos in the list by selecting the top checkbox.

5. In the Access Control dropdown, select which access setting you want to set on the videos you have selected. In the example below, all selected videos will be set to Public. You may select Public, All Users, Private or Teams.

Note: As of March 2017, Teams are no longer contained under the Private Access Control and may be the only Access Control assigned to a video. For example, you may not assign a video to both Private and a Team. Therefore, if you edit a video where an Access Control has a Team assigned you may not also choose to make it Private and assign specific Users and Groups as well. You must decide which Access Control to use and edit accordingly.

6. Click the Save button. You will receive a notification that the bulk operation has been submitted.

7. Each video you selected will now have the access control you set applied; in this example, Public.

Tip: If you are unsure on the results of a bulk edit, test it on one video first before applying it to multiple videos.

Use Append in the Access Control List dropdown to add User Accounts, Groups, and Teams or specify Edit Access to several videos at once.

For example, two groups will be added to all selected videos in the image below: Human Resources and Video Approval Admins. Additionally, Video Approval Admins will also be granted Edit Access to the videos selected.

Use Remove in the Access Control List dropdown to remove User Accounts, Groups, and Teams or Edit Access from several videos at once.

For example, in the image below, the Human Resources group will have view access removed from selected videos while Edit Access only will be removed from the Video Approval Admins group while still retaining view access.

It is important to understand that when using Remove that if you have Edit Access selected (as seen with the Video Approval Admins group) then the Remove function applies to the removal of editing access and not the entity’s view access to the videos selected.

Use Replace in the Access Control List dropdown to replace User Accounts, Groups, and Teams or Edit Access for several videos at once.

For example, in the image below, all selected videos will be set to Private access with only the Video Publishing and System Administrators groups granted view access. No Edit Access has been granted. All prior view and Edit Access will be wiped and replaced (as well as all former User Accounts, Groups, and Teams to be replaced with the current list).
