Content Library permissions 37
Structure of the Content Library
The Content Library is structured as follows:
Shared Content This folder is initially empty. You can place content here that will be accessed
or manipulated by multiple users. This folder is visible to all users. Account administrators and
course managers can manage it, and account authors can publish to it.
Users Content This folder consists of individual user folders, one for each account author.
When a user is assigned to the Account Author group, an individual user folder is created here.
This folder is visible only to account administrators and course managers who have permission to
manage it. Account authors cannot publish to the Users Content folder; they can publish only to
their individual user folder within it.
My Content Each account author has their own folder within the Users Content folder. The
actual name of the folder is the user’s user name (which is their e-mail address). My Content
shortcuts in the application point to a user’s specific folder in the Users Content folder. Account
administrators and course managers can manage these folders, and account authors can publish to
their individual folder only.
Note: Other users may have Manage or Publish permissions for these folders as well, if an account
administrator gives a group or user specific permissions.
Content Library permissions
The ability to view, manage, and publish content to various folders in the Content Library is
determined by what groups a user belongs to and what individual permissions have been assigned
to a user for specific files and folders.
