👌 Resolution/Answer

  • Click the Edit (pencil icon) next to the user that you'd like to edit

  • In the Edit user window, update the user's info and preferred settings:
    • Use the User type dropdown to select the appropriate role based on the permissions this person needs
    • Edit first name, last name, and email address
    • Configure their validation permissions:
      • Toggle on Requires validation If their uploads must be approved before publishing to the media library
      • Toggle on Validator If they should be able to approve others' uploads+
    • Configure Access only manually shared media
      • If enabled, the user will only access media that are manually shared with them. 
      • If disabled, you can then also attach a series of tags to define media that the user will be allowed to access.
    • If needed, set up tag-based rules to control which content they can access: 
      • Tag access to limit them to specific tags
      • Exclude tags to restrict certain content
      • Note: Leave these blank if the user should have access to all content within their role's permissions

  • Once everything is configured, click Update user to update the account
