You can use ACLs to give Users or User Groups (and their members) permission to access a Collection via the access control panel.

Roles

These are the roles that are needed:

  • can read collections
  • can write collections
  • can read acls
  • can write acls
  • can delete acls

Administration of ACLs on Collections

Inherited ACLs

An ACL can be added to a collection that will propagate to all content automatically. Thus it will be inherited if an Asset or sub-collection is in the collection that has this ACL, and any future Assets or Sub-Collections placed in the collection.

When adding the ACL to a collection, choose Propagate to all content automatically. In total you can have up to 1000 propagating ACLs.
