Organizing users and assets within Waterloo Photos

...

Access levels work in conjunction with Groups; each group has a certain permission level for each of the access levels.

  1. Admin > Org Units > Access levels (under actions)

  2. Under Add new sub-access level to “Org Unit Name” > Add new access level name

  3. Click Add button

  4. Click Edit button beside new access level

  5. If this access level should have its own permissions, separate from its parent folder, check Has own permissions box

    • A reindex is required before these permissions are applied, speak to Super Admin

    • Note: by default, assets stored in the org unit root access level will be visible. Thus, assets should not be added to the root access level, but be organized in the appropriate sub access level(s) (i.e. open assets/restricted for the org unit, and restricted for Waterloo Photos users).

  6. Recommend checking Always assignable box

  7. Click Save button

Note

*Important note: In order for an access level to have its own permissions (separate from its parent) a ‘reindex’ is required. This step disrupts access to the system for users and can only be performed by a Super admin. Thus, org unit admins should work with the super admin to set up necessary access levels during the onboarding stage, whenever possible.
