Permissions for Acquia DAM apps must be enabled at the role level. For each role, you'll enable permissions from the Application Permissions table on the Roles page in the Admin app. You can also edit and customize permissions from that page.
Certain permissions are enabled by default when one of the role templates (i.e., general user, asset admin, user admin, or DAM admin) is selected when you create a new role.
App permissions¶
Permissions are categorized by app – DAM, Assets, and Insights, and if enabled, Portals, Templates, Video Creator, and Workflow – which is indicated in the left column of the Application Permissions table. Within each app, permissions are organized by type of role - general users, asset admin users, and DAM admins - which are indicated in the second, third, and fourth columns of the table. You can also customize permissions for each app by clicking the pencil icon.
