Roles

The Request Download Approval features introduces 2 new roles:

  • Download_Approval_Admin - gives a user the ability to modify the request download approval configurations

  • Download_Approval_Bypass - allows a user to download an asset, bypassing the approval process

Prerequisites

In order for a user to have the ability of request the download of an asset, they need to have the roles ‘Asset_Can_Download' and 'Business_workflow_instance_CRUD'

The business workflow used for the approval process needs to fulfill all of the following conditions:

  • It needs to have exactly 1 start stage

  • It needs to have exactly 1 transition between the start stage and the following stage

  • It needs to have at least 1 stage containing a “request_download_status” propriety with one of the following values:

    • pending

    • approved

    • denied

Configuration

In MM5, navigate to the Settings pages, and select the option “Download approval“ from the left side menu.

In the newly opened page you can enable/disable the download request approval and select which business workflow to be used for the approval process.
