Hippo Video provides you with a set of default profiles. With this, you can manage user profiles such as setting up permissions to manage folders, videos, documents, sales pages, campaigns, scripts (teleprompter), reports, etc. Users associated with the profile will get access to all the features. You also have an option to create a custom profile by cloning the default profiles.
Default Profiles:
Standard Admin - Access to all the features inclusive of Branding, Subscriptions, and User Management.
Standard User - By default, the Branding, Subscriptions, and User Management features are not accessible. Other features are available based on the permissions set by Admin.
Custom Profile - Admins can create a custom profile, set permissions, and assign it to the users based on their roles to prevent them from accessing the other options.
Here's a quick demo video on how to manage user profiles and permissions:
Profiles: Is a set of permissions dealing with module access and operations, setup customizations, and access. You can provide different sets of permissions to various users. But at any point, a user will not be associated with more than one profile.

Enter the profile name and description.
Click Create. Now, the profile is created successfully.
Note: The symbols near the permissions indicate the accessibility for the user - 1 & 2 has no access to those permissions and 3 indicates that there is access to that permission.
Permissions: Is a set of rules that define whether a user has access to a resource or not. E.g. Edit Video, View Reports, Delete Video, etc. It can be configured and set differently by the admin based on the user. You can set custom permissions based on specific requirements.

Note: By default, all the users assigned to this profile will have the same accessibility to the features. In case, if the Admin needs to have separate accessibility for the specific users then he/she needs to create a new profile. You can clone the profile as many times as needed.
To delete a profile:
Before deleting the profile, you must remove all the users.
