Configuration preset considerations

There are important considerations that you should know before you start using configuration presets, including:

• Access to presets and privacy considerations
• Recording and streaming states
• Recorded files in a channel
• The potential to lock the device screen
• Orphaned Kaltura resource registrations and duplicate resources
• and more

Access to presets and privacy considerations

• Recorded files are not removed when you apply a configuration preset. Any user with access to Pearl Nano has access to all the saved recordings, custom channel layout, etc that are associated with an applied configuration preset.
• Configuration presets can be overwritten and deleted without a password. Users who are logged in to the Admin panel can remove or change an existing configuration preset.
• Applying a configuration preset does not clear the settings from groups that aren't a part of the preset, which means user information is not private.
• Media and recorded files can be deleted, affecting more than just the currently applied configuration preset. Users can erase uploaded media or recordings that belong to other users.

Locking out the front screen on Pearl Nano

The front screen configuration group includes the PIN security setting for the front screen. It's possible to apply a preset that effectively locks out all further use of the front screen. If this happens, use the Admin panel to reset or disable the PIN, see Set a PIN security code.
