Just to throw something into the mix: In addition to defining youtube account 
settings by role, they could be defined per series or per workflow, too. Even 
combinations of those are possible (e. g. the workflow settings would overwrite 
series settings or vice versa), so we need to be sure we know the requirements 
around sources of authority and their priorities prior to moving forward. 

When these settings are stored with a series, they could be automatically 
applied on distribution. When looking at a single recording, though we either 
need something that is able to list known accounts (that list would probably 
need to be limited based on roles), so the admin can choose one on 
schedule/ingest. Or we need to have him/her enter the credentials, which is 
probably a bad idea, since it means sharing the credentials with the group of 
admins.
