(I might be off-base here because I'm a newbie to Matterhorn, so apologies
if this is not relevant to your question exactly:)

What we would really like is integration with another system's
authentication. For example:

   1. A capture device records lecture and matterhorn processes it so it's
   in Engage.
   2. Nobody can browse freely to it, though, unless they authenticate into
   Engage (videos are not public)
   3. A faculty member logs into a learning management system (we use
   Moodle)
   4. Faculty adds a "matterhorn video" as an activity/resource in the
   learning management system
   5. Because of their role/identity in moodle, they are able to browse
   available videos in Engage that match their role/identity
   6. Once the video is placed in moodle, students who are enrolled in the
   course can view it

I realize this model requires the development of a moodle plugin (or
Blackboard building block) etc, but it would be great, and involves
authentication so I figured I'd mention it. In other words, some sort of API
web service access to whatever authentication systems you build would be
great.
