The ability to access content functionality and options will all be
00:14
based on the permission set that a user has been granted,
00:17
so it's important to understand the various options available.
00:21
Users may be given one permission set across an entire project
00:25
or different permissions on a folder by folder basis.
00:29
Our permission levels matrix and help doc
00:31
is available for more detailed information,
00:34
but we'll quickly go over the basics so
00:36
you can begin to use permissions effectively.
00:40
In general, there are five tiers of permissions:
00:43
viewer,
00:46
uploader,
00:48
downloader,
00:51
production admin,
00:53
and company admin.
00:56
Importantly, however,
00:57
each tier also contains variations or subgroups of that permission
01:03
which will determine added functionality or limitations.
01:07
The viewer permission is the lowest level permission
01:10
and unless otherwise specified will be granted by default to all new users.
01:16
The viewer permission only allows users to
01:18
view content and leave comments on assets,
01:22
with all other functionality being disabled.
01:25
The only subset of the viewer permission is viewer iOS offline
01:30
which grants users the ability to watch content on
01:33
an iOS device without an internet connection.
01:37
One step up from viewer is uploader
01:40
which allows for viewing and commenting as well
01:43
as uploading and various asset management tasks.
01:47
There are a number of variations of the uploader permission
01:50
including the ability to create folders or share playlinks,
01:53
as well as a variation that removes the ability to delete assets.
01:58
Next,
01:58
we have the downloader permission, which is the same as
02:01
uploader with the added ability to download watermarked files.
02:06
In addition to the same variations as uploaders,
02:09
there is also a downloader permission type that can
02:11
be granted to those who need to remove watermarks
02:14
when downloading,
02:15
should the need to work with clean files arise.
02:18
Right above downloader, we have the administrative permission,
02:22
which grants full access to all functionality across the entire production.
02:27
This permission set is required for anyone who wants to set security settings,
02:32
add new users, and monitor activity by participants across the production.
02:37
You can also grant a user a no
02:39
view slash download variation of this administrator permission.
02:44
Should you wish to have someone help with administration but prevent
02:47
them from being able to watch or download any content.
02:51
Lastly, we have company administrator
02:53
which is equivalent to a user with
02:55
production administrative permissions across an entire company.
02:60
These users also have access to company level settings such as watermarks,
03:04
security settings, and more.
03:06
Whether you're an admin looking to grant or restrict a user's capabilities, or you
03:11
just need to know what permission set allows you to perform certain tasks,
03:15
the permission levels matrix and help doc will
03:17
provide you with all the details you need.
