When you upload a media asset either via the Asset Library or by uploading a file to your Project, that asset is private to you. Only you can see and use that asset in your Projects.
You can choose to share assets if you'd like your colleagues to also be able to use them.
There are two access levels for assets:
- Editor which allows the user full access to the asset
- No access which prevents the user from seeing the asset in their library and by extension, editing and using it in any way
You can share assets directly, choosing whether only specific people can access and use them or whether they are accessible to your entire organisation.
Assets are also automatically made available to users who have Editor access to Projects that use them. If you grant the Editor access level for a Project to one or more users, those users will also be able to see and edit the assets that are in that Project and use them in their own Projects. For more information about sharing Projects, see Making your Projects visible to your colleagues.
