Types of users

A Digizuite™ DAM system has its own database of users that is created by the Digizuite™ DAM Center's administrators. Each user is set up with a username, a password and role-based access rights.

There are 5 main types of users within the Media Manager 5: Guest, Light User, Content Creator, Administrator and Super Administrator. These users are given a number of rights/roles by default, but the roles can be removed or added by the Administrator in the DAM Center's "System tools". New users with a customized set of roles can also be created.

More information on roles can be found here.

Guest

Media Manager 5 is available for guest users. Guest users are the users who are not logged in and can access the assets in a read-only mode. The guest users can only view assets that are made available for the public. It is a choice whether or not Media Manager 5 should have a Guest Area or require a log in to even access the home screen.

Guest users can search for public files, preview them, download them and share them on social media, if this is allowed. For the ability to add to favorites, they will be requested to log in, if they possess membership credentials.

Users who possess credentials to the system usually fall under one of these user types:
