Admins and Designers can set asset permissions using Content Automation tags.

Find out if this capability is included in Smartsheet Regions or Smartsheet Gov.

If you want to assign asset permissions, you must first group images via a tag. For example, you may name the tag Science and distribute it only to people needing access to science-related imagery.

How to set permissions on images

  1. Navigate to the asset library and select the tag to which you want to assign permissions.
  2. Hover over the tag and select the cog (settings) icon.
