# Web Console Publishing

Web Console Publishing is a feature that allows you to share the OvenMediaEngine Enterprise Web Console's stream list page, stream details page, and event monitoring page with external users without requiring sign-in. You can share specifying virtual hosts, applications, and streams, as well as you can manage shared links by setting permissions and specifying expiration dates.

## Creating and Managing Web Console Publishing URLs

You can create and manage Web Console Publishing URLs from the Publishing page in the Web Console.

2. Configure the following values in the dialog to create a Publishing URL:

<table><thead><tr><th width="111">field</th><th width="90">required</th><th>description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Source Ids</td><td>Y</td><td><p>Specify virtual hosts, applications, and streams that are accessible from the shared Web Console. Multiple settings can be configured and should be separated using commas.</p><p></p><ul><li><strong>Virtual host</strong>: Specified in the format <code>#{virtual_host_name}</code>. All applications and streams within the specified virtual host are accessible. </li><li><strong>Application</strong>: Specified in the format <code>#{virtual_host_name}#{app_name}</code>. All streams within the specified application are accessible.</li><li><strong>Stream</strong>: Specified in the format <code>#{virtual_host_name}#{app_name}/{stream_name}</code>. Access to the specified stream is possible.</li></ul><p></p><p>If you specify <code>#default/app1/stream, #default/app2</code>, you can share the stream (<code>#default/app1/stream</code>) and all streams within the application (<code>#default/app2</code>)</p></td></tr><tr><td>Description</td><td>N</td><td>You can add a description for record-keeping when creating a Publishing URL.</td></tr><tr><td>Permission</td><td>Y</td><td><ul><li><strong>Read Only</strong>: External users can only view the shared pages. </li></ul><p></p><ul><li><strong>ReadWrite</strong>: External users can additionally perform the following actions:</li></ul><ol><li>Stream list page: Managed Streams creation/modification/deletion, Scheduled Channels creation/modification/deletion, Multiplex Channels creation/deletion.</li><li>Stream details page: Recording start/stop, Push Publishing start/stop, (LL)-HLS Dump start/stop.</li></ol></td></tr><tr><td>Expiry Date</td><td>Y</td><td>You can set the validity period for the Publishing URL.</td></tr></tbody></table>
