Assets Rights

Assets rights come in two scopes. User-level rights, configured here on user roles, control module-wide access to the Assets module, such as whether a user can use the module at all. Folder- and asset-level rights control access to specific folders and assets, and are configured via Set Rights on the item itself.

This table lists and explain the Asset rights that can be set on the user.
