  2. Scroll down to Member Group permissions and click Add to assign member groups to the asset. Only member groups displayed here will be able to VIEW and DOWNLOAD the asset.

  3. Remove any member groups if you want to restrict them from having any access to the asset.
  4. Remember to Save your changes.

If you want to apply member group permissions to multiple assets at once, see Batch modifying asset restrictions.
 

Member Group Permissions “VIEW ONLY” access

You can also give select Member Groups permission to view BUT NOT download an asset. When you assign this “View Only” property, members of the chosen Member Group(s) will need to complete a request form (and go through an approval process) to download the asset.

  1. Scroll down to Member Group Permissions View Only and click Add to assign member groups to the asset. Members of the chosen Member Group(s) will be able to VIEW asset details BUT NOT download the asset.
