    1. Enter the new owner’s last name or ePanther ID in the “Type user or group name” field.
      • If you have a student with a documented accommodation and have been instructed by UWM's Accessibility Resource Center (ARC) to provide Co-Editor permissions to captionists enter UWMIL-G-PaidCaption the “Type user or group name” field and check the Co-Editor permission.
    2. The new collaborator’s user information (email address and name) should appear below the field. Once the new collaborator’s name and ePanther ID autofills, click the entry. This will feed the information into the “Type user or group name” field and populate the field.
      • If the user has never accessed My Media, no account has been created. The user must log into Canvas, go to the Account tab. Click on My Media and accept the terms. This will activate the user's My Media account.
    3. When the ePanther ID is populated in the field, select the permissions you'd like to extend. (NOTE: See permission details below) For ARC captionists, check the Co-Editor permission.
    4. Once the appropriate permission is selected, click the Add button.

Co-Editor: 

  • Co-Editors can edit the entry's details and metadata, trim media, replace media, edit captions, edit chapters and edit slides. 
  • Co-editors cannot delete media or add new co-editors and co-publishers. 
  • Co-editors can see the analytics page for the media they co-edit.

Co-Publisher: 

  • Co-Publishers can publish the media anywhere that the co-publishing user has rights to publish.

Co-Viewer: 

  • Co-Viewers can view media, even if is has not been published.
