Chapter 3: Managing the Content Library
Setting custom permissions for content files
By default, when you add content to the Content Library using any method (see
“Adding new
content” on page 47
), the file permissions are set to Same As Parent. The file has the same
permission profile as that of the folder in which it is saved.
Note:
Presentations that you upload using the Breeze Publish Wizard may have a different
permission setting. Although Same As Parent is the default setting during the publishing process,
users with Manage permissions may customize the file’s permissions during the publishing process.
For more information, see the
Using the Breeze Publish Wizard
guide.
You can make content files public or private:
Public
Anyone can view a public content file if they have its URL.
Private
Only selected Breeze users can view private content. They must first log in with a
Breeze user name and password, even when viewing the content file URL in a browser. A user
cannot view the presentation without the appropriate permission, in addition to a valid Breeze
user account.
If you publish or upload a file to a folder that has its permission set to allow public viewing, then
by default the content file is also available for public viewing. Similarly, if the parent folder has a
custom permission profile that allows only certain groups to view or manage it, then by default so
does the content file.
A content file does not have to keep the same permission profile as its parent folder. Account
administrators, course managers, and users with permission to manage a specific Content Library
folder can edit a content file’s permission profile.
Note:
To change permissions on a folder, you must open the folder before setting permissions.
When customizing the permission settings for a content file, you can do one of the following:
Allow public viewing
Make the content file available publicly, even if the parent folder
permission setting is not set to allow public viewing.
Create a custom permissions profile for users and groups
Add users or groups to the profile
and set the access for each to Access Denied, View, Publish, or Manage. User and group
permissions that you set for the presentation take precedence over the permissions that are set for
the parent folder.
Reset to parent
Set the content file permissions back to the permissions of the parent folder.
To set permissions for a content file:
1.
Click the Content tab.
2.
Navigate to the content file whose permissions you want to set.
For more information, see
“Navigating the Content Library” on page 39
.
3.
Select the name of the content file whose permissions you want to set.
The Content Information page appears.
4.
Click the Set Permissions link in the navigation bar.
The Set Permissions page appears.
