Create or Delete a Permission Profile

  • Updated

In Permission Management, you can create and manage permission profiles. A permission profile is a pre-established collection of permissions that determines your users' actions in their portal and which Bynder modules they can use. These permissions range from basic access, like viewing and downloading assets, to more advanced rights, such as uploading and editing assets, or even managerial and full administrator rights.

Once you've created a Permission Profile you can begin to add users to their respective profiles.

 

 

Best Practices for Permission Management

  • Avoid using generic names for your permission profiles, such as 'Marketing.' Instead, Use specific naming that better describes the roles of the internal and external people working with Bynder, such as 'Digital Marketing Content Creator.' This allows you to grant access rights, more specifically, without compromising security.
  • Match the permission profile of internal or external users with their role within your organization or as an external party.

  6. Permission dependencies: Some permissions are dependent on others. When relevant, you'll see a tooltip explaining which other permissions (s) need to be enabled before enabling that permission.

  7. [optional] You can make this permission profile or others in your account the default profile for your users.

    • Navigate to the permission profile and click three_dots.png > Check Set as a default profile.

  8. [optional] If you are making multiple permission profiles and want to save time, you can duplicate them. Select the permission profile you want to duplicate and click Check Duplicate Profile.
