5.2 Category access permissions

Managing Category Permissions and Visibility

You can control category access for specific roles within your DAM.

Select Role

: Choose a role from the dropdown menu.
Grant or Remove Permissions

: Hold

Shift

and click on the top-level category to apply permissions across the main category and all its subcategories.

Select Role

: Choose the user group you want to assign permissions to.
Set Permissions for Each Category

: Define whether the role has

Read

or

Write

access for specific categories and their subcategories.

Read Permission

: Users can view uploaded materials but cannot upload or edit.
Write Permission

: Users can upload and edit materials, provided they also have general editing/upload permissions enabled in

User Management -> Permissions

.

\

Write permissions are ideal for Editor roles, letting you grant editing access to certain categories while limiting others to read-only access.
No Permission

: The category will not appear in the category structure for users in this role.

You can override default role-based download settings with category-specific settings:

Deny Downloading

: For a specific role, navigate to the category and enable the

Deny Download

slider.
Allow Downloading

: Use the

Allow Download

slider to permit downloads for a specific category.
