Account Customization
This page / section pertains to BrightSign Network (often abbreviated BSN), our legacy cloud platform. Our latest cloud platform is BSN.Cloud. Development of BSN has largely ceased and the platform will eventually be deprecated and replaced with BSN.Cloud.
This chapter outlines the account customization features available to you in the Account section. To access this section, click the Account button in the top-right corner of the page.
Settings
The Settings page allows you to view your account info, reset your password, set Email notification preferences, and enable/disable advanced security settings
User Info
View the name of the BrightSign Network account and the name of your user account ID. You can also view your assigned role, which affects your editing, viewing, and creation privileges. Your role can be changed only by account administrators. Use the Startup Page menu to choose which page you would like to see first when you log in.

Advanced (Administrators only)
- Show Advanced Security Settings: Check this box if you would like to view permissions settings in the WebUI. Any item that has a Properties window will now have a Security tab that allows you to review permissions for different user roles.
- Enable Custom Roles Management: Check this box if you would like to create and edit custom roles in the Users and Roles and Permissions tabs.
- Allow Automatic Changes To Tagged Playlists: Check this box to allow automated changes to Tagged Playlists when changes are made to media tags. When this box is unchecked, changing media tags will not automatically add or remove media from a Tagged Playlist: A user with the "Update Tagged Playlist" permission (Administrators, Creators, General Managers) will need to manually approve changes to a Tagged Playlist.
The Show Advanced Security Settings and Enable Custom Roles Management options allow you to create custom roles and edit object permissions. See the BSN Roles & Permissions page for more details.
