Do you want to avoid that one user or a small group of users are responsible for approving all download requests? Divide their workload and make use of individual download approvers instead. This will give you the flexibility to set up one specific download approver for each watermarked asset.
By applying a watermark to your assets you can make sure that they are only downloaded by users who have the right to. Users who don't have sufficient rights to download watermarked material right away can submit a download request. Read more about watermarks here.
Administrators or specific download approvers can audit these requests. By making use of specific download approvers you can avoid that one user or a small group of users are responsible for approving all download requests. This way, you can reduce the workload of your administrators. Also having specific approvers in place ensures that the download requests are audited by approvers who know the content allowing them to better judge whether users should be able to download it or not.
When a download request comes in the assigned download approver receives a notification that a download request is pending their approval.
Contact your Customer Success Manager if you would like to have this feature enabled for your portal. When we enable this feature we will create a new metaproperty, which you can use to assign specific download approvers to your watermarked assets.
Once this feature has been set up for your portal, you can start assigning specific download approvers to your assets.
