A good captioning vendor lets you customize your account to your specific use case – user management is often one of those use cases.

With 3Play Media, you can easily manage multiple users under one account and set specific permissions for each user.

3Play Media & User Management

Many organizations seek a captioning solution that allows them to have multiple users under one account.

3Play allows you to manage and set specific permissions for every user you invite. Each user also sets up their username and password – so you don’t have to share your login information.

you can set specific permission for users who can access billing, manage other users, upload files, edit files, approve orders, publish plugins and apis, and organize files

You can also choose which projects a user is allowed to access. If you need to give someone access to all projects, you can make them a Super User. Super Users can see all current and future projects.

3Play also allows you to give non-3Play users access to specific files, without having to make them a user.

The Expiring Editing Link allows non-3Play users to edit and review a specific transcript or translation for a defined period. Users are only given access to the caption editing interface of the chosen file via a link.

This link is useful for cases where you need someone to review your captions before publishing, but don’t want to make them a 3Play account user.

How is 3Play Media Different From the Competition?

At 3Play Media, we want you to customize your account based on your needs. Therefore, you have complete control over how you want to organize your user permissions.
