External group media not accessible to user

💻 Environment/Context

  • External group
  • Media access
  • User permission

 

 

❓ Issue/Question

  • I want to provide a sponsor with media libraries, but he says that nothing is displayed to him.
  • User unable to access media that external group have access to.

 

👌 Resolution/Answer

  • Check the User account and its permission and check if “Access only manually shared media” is enabled.
  • If so, disable it.
  • Once this is removed the user will be able to access all the media that the external group have access to

 

🥚 Cause

  • With the option “Access only manually shared media” enabled, instead of relying on tag-based permissions, users in that group will only have access to media that has been manually shared with them.
