Permissions
Video Picker's permissions separate the editors who choose videos in a field from the people who set up your video providers. An editor adding a video to an entry only needs to browse your sources, a site builder might decide which fields can use each source, and connecting a provider account stays with whoever holds its API keys. Set them in Settings → Users → User Groups, or on an individual user's Permissions tab.
Access Video Picker is listed under General, with Craft's other permissions for reaching each plugin's section. The others are listed under the Video Picker heading.
| Permission | What It Allows |
|---|---|
| Access Video Picker | Reach the Video Picker section of the control panel. |
| Explore videos | Use Browse videos… in a Video Picker field to browse and search an allowed source, and paste a video's URL into the field to look it up. |
| Sources | Open Sources to create, edit, reorder and delete sources, and change their non-credential settings, such as Available Fields. |
| Manage source credentials and connections | Enter and change a source's API keys and other credentials, change its provider, connect or disconnect its account, and check its connection. |
Explore videos is for editors and works inside the field wherever they edit content, so it doesn't need Access Video Picker. Sources opens a screen in the plugin's section, so it needs Access Video Picker too.
Manage source credentials and connections is nested under Sources and only applies to the source screens. Without it, someone with Sources sees credentials redacted and can't add or change them, switch a source to a different provider, or add or change environment variable and alias references in a source's settings. They can still enable or disable a source, choose its Available Fields and delete it.
Admins have every permission, and Video Picker's settings are only available to admins. Keep Manage source credentials and connections for the people who manage your provider accounts, because it controls which account each source reads videos from.
