Groups are the heart of permission control in Mediagraph. They connect members to assets through permissions that are applied to Collections. Groups can also be used to allow uploads by Group members.
Tip: We strongly recommend using one of the Quick Setup setting configurations to ensure you get the most functionality out of Mediagraph.
- Basic settings.
- Full-feature settings without Uploads.
- Full-feature settings with Uploads.
Make a Group
- Go to the Manage tab.
- Select Groups from the sidebar menu.
- Click Add New Group in the upper right corner.
- Give your Group a name.
- Choose a Quick Setup settings option. We recommend selecting Full-feature settings with Uploads, which builds important infrastructure in the background should you ever want to allow upload for this group. You can always disable uploads at any time.
- Add members to your group (you can always add members later).
- Click Save Group.
What is a Group Library?
Group Libraries are Library Collections where permissions are linked to Group membership. Group Libraries are an easy way to organize assets and make them accessible to a subset of users. When you first create a Group you have the option to create a Group Library.
What Happens When You Make a Group Library?
When you create a Group Library, Mediagraph will automatically create a Library Organizer named for the Group, and a Collection named “Home”.
- You can create as many additional Collections inside the Group Library as you need.
- Add assets the same way you would to any other Collection.
- Group members can see all assets in the Group Library.
Group Libraries are denoted with the 
Group symbol. Use the Info pop-over to edit Library settings and permissions.
Creating a Group Library?
We strongly recommend creating a Group Library when you first make a Group. If you need to go back and add a Group Library to an existing Group, follow these steps.
- Go to Manage > Groups and click Edit next to the desired Group.
- Click the accordion Set Group Library.
- Check the box "Set Group Library for this Group".
- Select a member permission. If you do not select a permissions level, Group members will not be able to see the Group Library.
- If you have enabled Group Managers, you have the option to apply Group Manager Permissions. If you do not assign manager permissions, Group Library Managers will not be able to edit the Group Library.
- Make sure the "Child Collections inherit all parent permissions" is checked.
- Click Update Group.
