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.
