# How to secure Video / Media access using SSO Access Control List (ACL)?

For Portals using SSO SAML logins, Video / Media access can be secured by using SSO ACL (Access Control Lists). For each user that logs in using SSO, the ACL attributes will need to be sent by the SSO provider. You can follow below steps to secure a video using ACL.

1. Click on the Video to go to Video detail page, click on "Edit" Video to view Video properties.

2\. This will load the Video properties page shown below. Scroll all the way down until you see SSO Access Control List label. This will display a text box to enter criteria for SSO Access Control List as shown below.

3\. The format for entering SSO ACL condition is $\<attribute name> = \<value>. For e.g. $costcenter=34, $organization=product marketing, $department=Finance, etc.

4\. Once you enter the condition in the SSO text box, click on Save. Please make sure there is no typo in the attribute name and value as it has to match the exact values and case that SSO provider sends with the user.&#x20;

5\. Once this is saved, it should restrict video / media access as per the condition entered in SSO text box.

6\. Please make sure all required attributes are passed through SSO login, your IT team will be able to help confirm this.&#x20;

Please make sure to test this with a sample video and user first, to ensure values are set correctly. If any questions or further help needed on this, please email <support@circlehd.com>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.circlehd.com/videos/how-to-secure-video-media-access-using-sso-access-control-list-acl.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
