Signing in
You do not need an account to read qc.ebu.io. Published QC Items, their card images and the API are all open to anyone. Signing in is what gives you your own QC Templates, access to restricted Test Materials, the ability to take part in Discussions, and, for Editors, the drafting tools.
Getting an account
qc.ebu.io uses your EBU account. If you do not have one, you can create one free of charge at tech.ebu.ch/myebu.
Signing in itself is handled by the EBU's central login, so qc.ebu.io never sees or stores your password.
What you can see depends on your role
Creating an account makes you a logged user. Editor and higher roles come from membership of the relevant EBU Group rather than from a setting on qc.ebu.io itself, so the way to become an Editor is to join the EBU QC Group.
User roles lists the roles and what each one can do.
If you have just been given access
Your rights are worked out when you sign in, so a change made while you are already signed in does not take effect immediately. If you have just joined an EBU Group and still cannot see what you expect:
- Sign out.
- Sign in again.
This is the usual reason a newly added Test Material folder or QC Item stays invisible. See also QC Test Materials, where the same applies to material access.
Your account page
Once signed in, your name at the top right leads to your account, where you can set your display preferences and manage which e-mail notifications you receive. See Your account.
If something is wrong with your account
For access problems, a duplicate account, or an address that is out of date, e-mail tech@ebu.ch.
