Assets administrator guides

If you're a root user or have a Cloudinary Master Admin or Admin role (equivalent in both Roles and Permissions and the legacy system), it may be your responsibility to define how your organization uses the Assets product, possibly specific to one or more Cloudinary product environments. This includes adding users, configuring user roles and permissions, defining Media Library user groups, monitoring usage statistics, graphs, and other reports, creating & managing structured metadata fields, and more. Users with a Master Admin role can additionally set Media Library and overall account options. Enterprise customers with Roles and Permissions can also create custom roles for more granular admin responsibilities.

This guide provides detailed information about these topics:

Account management

Configure account-wide settings, manage users and groups, set up SSO, manage product environments, monitor usage, and select Media Library options.

Upload presets

Create upload presets to standardize the way Media Library users upload assets.

Structured metadata

Define the structured metadata fields that can be set for your media assets to improve searchability and discoverability.

Asset management

Configure settings that enable users to perform certain actions on their assets, and set security options for assets directly.

Digital rights management

Protect and control licensed content through workflow automation combined with access control restrictions, expiration settings, and visual watermarking.

Creative approval flows

Manage asset reviews through structured approval workflows where collaborators can comment, annotate, approve, or reject assets at each stage.

EasyFlows

Automate workflows within Assets using a no-code, natural language interface.

Portals

Create branded, shareable interfaces for delivering curated collections of media to external stakeholders with configurable access and download settings.

Before going on to plan and configure the way the Assets will be used in your organization, you'll also want to familiarize yourself with the Assets digital asset management (DAM) capabilities available through the Media Library by taking a look at the high level overview in the Get started page and all the pages of the Assets user guide, which describes all features available to Media Library users, including:
