Customize User Permissions to Download Assets

Typically, users are allowed to download media files. However, you may choose to restrict this right to original files or assets that have been archived or watermarked. In such cases, only selected users will have the right to download these files. 

The request is then displayed in the notification center and the approver's Waiting Room.

How to Enable Access to Download Assets 

  1. Navigate to settings_menu.pngSettings > Users & rights > Permission Management.
  2. View the following options to download assets. 

Download Original Assets 

If you want users to be able to download original files and derivatives, enable the Download original assets right. Users who do not have this right will only be able to download derivatives and will not be able to download any originals ( including the originals of documents, audio, and video files). We recommend not granting this right to light users.

  • If users do not have the Download original assets right enabled, they cannot see previews of documents.
  • If you want users to be able to download the originals of specific files (for example, only audio files) contact Customer Support and they can enable this for you. 

Download Archived Assets

If you want users to be able to download archived assets, enable the Download archived assets right.

  • If you enable this right, you need to enable View archived assets right so that users can see the assets.

Download Non-Public Asset Derivative

If you want your users to be able to download non-public derivatives and not originals, enable the Download non-public asset derivatives right.

  • If you want users to be able to download public derivatives, select Download public asset derivatives.

Download Limited Usage Assets Right

If you want users to be able to download the assets marked as Limited Usage, select Download limited usage assets.

Download Watermark

If you want users to be able to download watermarked assets, enable the download directly.

Download Non-Downloadable Assets

If you want certain users to be able to  download assets that are marked as non downlodable enable download non-downlodable.
