Uploader Settings

Uploader Setting allows you to manage how users upload resources to their accounts

The Uploader Settings feature allows you to configure default settings when users upload files to the system. This includes default permissions, blocked MIME types, and automation options.

Benefits of using Uploader Settings

• Time-saving: Predefined permissions and automation options eliminate the need for manual configuration during each upload.

• Enhanced security: Block unsafe file types at the point of upload to minimize security risks.

• Consistency: Ensure uploaded files comply with established content management rules and standards.

• Automation: Apply automated processes such as tagging and categorization to improve asset management efficiency.

1. 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.

• 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.

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.
