Restricting Access to Podcasts

At any point, you can change the permissions for each podcast. This means you can set podcasts (not episodes of podcasts, but podcasts themselves) up in such a way that only specific users and/or groups can access content.

To limit who can access a podcast, browse to a specific podcast and then click on the cogwheel icon in the grey bar at the top of the screen. Click on Settings to bring up the permissions screen, shown in Figure 7-9. In the box below the field “The following people and groups can access this podcast,” enter the short name of a user or group who you would like to allow access to a podcast. Users and groups that match the search string you enter will appear. Click on the appropriate entry and the user or group is listed in the list below the field. Here, click on the drop-down list of permissions options to set what kind of access the user or group has to the podcast.
