Assets Permission

The Asset Detail Page is the page that displays all information about an Asset, including the ability to comment and share the Asset with other users.

Asset permissions in HIVO are essential for controlling who can view and modify assets and to what extent. This guide will help you understand and manage asset permissions effectively.

Overview of Asset Permissions

Permissions determine user access to assets and their versions. When a user has access to an asset, they generally have access to all versions within that asset. However, if the user’s ‘Can View Image Original Versions’ right is toggled off, they will only see non-original, watermarked versions. This setting is often used alongside watermarking to restrict access. For more information on watermarking, see the relevant section. See more "Edit User Rights" here.

Viewing and Editing Permissions

You can view and edit asset permissions on the ‘Permissions’ tab of the Asset Detail page, accessed via the gear icon.

• This tab shows the access levels of all users, including those with inherited permissions from Collections.

• To modify permissions, click the ‘Permissions’ heading to open a popup.

Edit Asset Permission

👉 Note that: Permissions inherited from Collections must be changed within the Collection itself.

Permission Tiers Explained

All permission tiers grant viewing permissions for the asset. Here’s a breakdown of the additional permissions each tier provides:

• Can View: Users can view the asset and its versions.

• Can Share: Users can share the asset with others.

• Can Edit: Users can make changes to the asset.

• Add Versions: Users can add new versions to the asset.

• Full Access: Users have all permissions, including viewing, sharing, editing, and adding versions.

Modifying Permissions for Multiple Assets

To change permissions for multiple assets simultaneously, use Library Actions. This feature allows for bulk editing, saving time and ensuring consistency across your assets.

Key Points to Remember

• Users with access to an asset can view all versions unless restricted by the ‘Can View Originals’ right.

• Permissions can be viewed and edited on the Asset Detail page under the ‘Permissions’ tab.

• To modify permissions for multiple assets, use Library Actions.

• Different permission tiers provide varying levels of access, with ‘Full Access’ granting complete control.

By managing asset permissions in HIVO, you can ensure that your assets are secure and accessible to the right users.
