Managing assets

info

New user roles and Brands are available starting release 25.4.2. designed for streamlined management of user access to assets. For more information, please see

In MessageGears Accelerator, an Asset is any permission-based object where activity can be tracked and audited. Folders, templates, campaigns, and global snippets (formerly shared content) are considered Assets. Each one of those items can have different permissions applied to them, which allows administrators to control which users or groups of users should have different levels of access.

To manage permissions on any asset, access the Tree view of the page:

View toggle buttons with the view as tree icon highlighted, next to Help and Actions

In tree view, you will see a folder tree hierarchy on the left and details about each selected asset on the right.

With an asset selected from the folder tree, you will see a line of buttons like this:

Row of asset action buttons: Overview, Permissions, Duplicate, and Delete

Clicking the Permissions button opens a dialogue box in which you can add or remove Groups-based permissions for that individual asset.

Permissions for 'Template Name' dialog listing the Everyone group with Read, Update, Delete, and Execute checked

"Everyone" is a group created automatically during Account generation

Permissions can also be placed on the Folder level as well, and in such cases where permission settings are being applied to a folder, checking the “Apply to children” checkbox will apply the new settings to all items within that folder, including sub-folders.
