Storage Groups

Navigate to Administration > Overview > Data Structures & Workflows > Virtual Database Groups. You can group multiple storage folders together in a storage group. Each user is assigned to a storage group and, as a result, obtains access to the storage folders that belong to the group and the assets stored in them.

You can also choose which assets can order the media objects in a storage folder from the Marketing Shop module only. If you activate the checkbox Order via Shop required, users that are assigned to the storage group place the asset in the shopping cart when they download it. They then have to order the asset.

Note

Storage groups control access permissions at the storage folder and asset level. Individual users are granted access based on the group to which they have been assigned. Such an approach enables access control via group memberships, as opposed to configuring permissions on a per-user basis.
