The Permissions tab on the Admin Dashboard is where capabilities are granted to a group or user, scoped down to exactly the assets, regions, and usages they should apply to. Unlike the standard list tabs, Permissions uses a custom layout: you browse groups and users, then view and edit the permission grants attached to each.

​
What a permission grant covers

Each grant has three parts: who it’s for, what it applies to, and which capabilities it allows.

​
Scope — what it applies to

ScopeMeaning
StudioThe studio the grant applies within. With no project set, it covers all of the studio’s projects.
ProjectAn optional single project to narrow the grant to.
Asset types or AssetsEither whole asset types or specific assets.
TagsOptional tags to filter which files are covered.
Creative stateWhether the grant covers final (finished) files, unfinished creative, or any.
Many capabilities can be narrowed further by source — constraining them to specific countries, languages, and localization types (OV, dedicated, subtitled).

​
Capabilities

Capabilities are boolean toggles, grouped roughly as:
  • Access — view previews, download, place orders, order autosubs, social publish.
  • Collaboration & administration — re-share without approval, edit notes, ingest assets, invite guests to shares, blanket access to private assets.
  • Work request management — manage or admin work requests, scoped to specific groups.
  • Reporting — work request, encode, download, exception, and group-spending reports.
  • Project administration — view and update projects/assets, and set embargoes.
A permission grant must be approved to take effect. Grants can also expire, after which they no longer apply.
