Hosted module


About

The Hosted module uses KMS capabilities to configure KAF instances and serves as the backbone of KAF. It's typically set up by the Kaltura administrator, and users only need to manage the Roles Mapping section to align user roles with KAF for proper access and functionality.

Configure 

1. Go to your Configuration Management console, and click on the Hosted module. You can also navigate directly using a link: https://{your_KMS_URL}/admin/config/tab/hosted.

The Hosted page displays.
