TVU Home User Guide (Beta) version

TVU Home overview

Note: This User Guide supports the TVU Home Beta version v1.0.104 and above.

TVU Home (beta) is a user-facing platform that anyone can sign in to and participate by using their TVU credentials. The Home landing page enables users to access services, recent objects (e.g., TVU services), and status. Users with owner roles can set up and manage groups and subgroups of users on the management dashboard. TVU Services and user roles can be assigned, managed, and monitored from this dashboard.

Users sign in to the TVU Home landing page and click the Manage > Members tab. They then navigate to their management dashboard to view all members assigned to their group or subgroup, with full editing rights to their own user information.

User role types

This (beta) version of TVU Home allows users to familiarize themselves with the TVU Home platform and explore the following basic features, controls, and functions based on the following four user role types.

Owner

The owner has administrative access to the members and groups they set up. Owners can set up user-level and sub-level groups, invite members, assign member roles, manage permissions, and monitor user-level TVU account content by group assignment. Tokens can be purchased, and token usage can be monitored from the management dashboard’s Billing tab.

Member

Within the Group workspace, a Member can view users and their assigned roles. Each group member can change their avatar (profile image), reset their password, and view which TVU services are assigned to them. In addition, the group member can quit at any time if desired.

Admin

The Admin role only has administrative access to Member users and the groups they set up.

Admin users can set up user-level and sub-level groups, invite members, assign member roles, manage permissions, and monitor user-level TVU account content by group assignment. As an Admin, you can add or remove users from your group, entitle a service, or revoke a user’s service from their management dashboard.

Finance

Finance users have only administrative rights to their accounts; they are not part of any other group. Tokens can be purchased, and token usage can be monitored from the Home management dashboard Billing tab.
