Confidential Entry - Admin Guide


About

The Confidentalentry module allows users to mark content as confidential which prevents publishing of the entry in both KMS and KAF. This functionality is conditionally based on a custom metadata schema. Follow the steps to log into the Configuration Management section and configure the Confidentialentry module. 

This module is for both Theming and non-Theming users.

For technical support, contact Kaltura Customer Care. For all other inquiries, reach out to your Customer Success Manager.
