Q2. Are there any best practices for managing radio station archive or on-demand content access rights
Can I restrict access to my radio station’s archive or on-demand content?
At any radio station, curation of content is paramount, and having full control over your station’s archive or on-demand content can be a major benefit. But, how do you ensure that only listeners you wish can access your content? Well, the answer is simple: by properly restricting access.
Implementing Passwords and User Accounts
One of the most effective ways to limit access to your archive or on-demand content is by requiring users to sign up for a user account and creating a password. With this method, you can set rules that allow only logged-in users to access the content, as well as track which users have access to what. Additionally, you can also set up different user roles and permissions to determine who can access your content and what they can do with it.
Enabling HTTP Authentication
Another way to limit access to your radio station’s archive or on-demand content is by enabling HTTP authentication. This will require any visitor of the website to enter credentials before they can access the content, restricting access to only those with the correct login. This is a great way to restrict access to behind-the-scenes content, such as private recordings or drafts.
Using Plugins to Restrict Access
Lastly, if you’re using a web radio station platform such as Azuracast, there are plugins that can help you limit access to your content. For example, the MemberPress plugin can be used to restrict access to certain pages or content and can even be used as a membership system, where users can sign up for an account in order to access content.
