#### 🔹 Step 1: Configure **Default Permissions**

* Set default asset permissions that will apply to a particular user or group, which will appear as being preselected in the upload tool when a user goes to complete an upload.&#x20;
* In the **Default Permissions** section, you will see a list of entities in the system (e.g., *HIVO Demo Account*).
* For each entity, you can select a default permission level such as: **can view, can share, can edit, add version, full access.**

#### 🔹 Step 2: **Blocked MIME Types**

* Prevent users from uploading files with specific MIME types.
* Click the **Blocked MIME Types** field to select the file types you want to block, e.g., .exe, .bat, .js, etc.
  * Files with these formats will be blocked from uploading.
  * **Note:** This is a general check and should not be relied upon as a complete security solution.

#### 🔹 Step 3: **Set up Automation**

* Allows you to choose what automation tasks should run on the uploaded assets during the Asset Details step in the Uploader.&#x20;
* **Visible Default Enabled:** You can select which default automation actions will be preselected to be performed when uploading files.&#x20;
* These preselected options include:

<table><thead><tr><th width="241">Type</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Tag Prediction</strong></td><td>Run the auto tagger using image and video recognition technology.
