Configure Your Service - End User Access¶
Your service can be configured to support different ways for end users to access your service.
You can control if:
- any user can access the service and play content without logging in
- any user can browse your content but must login before playing content
- user must always login to browse and play the content
This guide describes how to control this.
If user need to login this guide also describes how to setup the service so that end user can create account by self service.
