Media library permissions
This page is for administrators: the operations described require access to the administration area.
You configure media library permissions in the user profile under Admin → Users. The underlying model is described in Who can see what: media library permissions.
Workspace permissions
The DAM Permissions section has one row per workspace.
| Column | Value | Allowed operations |
|---|---|---|
| View & download | yes / no | Find, open and download media in the workspace |
| Delete | None | No deletion |
| Not Approved | Delete media that have not yet been approved | |
| All Media | Delete any media | |
| Edit | None | No editing |
| Not Approved - My Uploads | Edit unapproved media uploaded by the user | |
| Not Approved - All | Edit all unapproved media | |
| All - My Uploads | Edit all media uploaded by the user | |
| All | Edit any media | |
| Replace | yes / no | Replace a media file with a new version |
For media that belong to multiple workspaces, permission in any one of those workspaces is sufficient.
Upload permissions
- To upload media to a workspace, Edit must be set to All or All - My Uploads for that workspace. Newly uploaded media are considered approved, so Not Approved - My Uploads and Not Approved - All are not sufficient.
- Uploading from a product's media attribute requires upload permission in both the incoming workspace and the attribute's workspace.
- Editing a media attribute requires View & download permission in all the attribute's workspaces.
All workspaces
| Permission | Includes | Does not include |
|---|---|---|
| All workspaces | All permissions in the table for all workspaces, including those created in future | Changing media workspaces, downloading multiple media together, sharing outside the company, managing shoots |
When All workspaces is selected, the workspace table is hidden.
