Assets administrator guides

Last updated: Apr-23-2025

If you're a Master admin or Admin user, it may be your responsibility to define how your organization uses the Assets product, possibly specific to one or more Cloudinary product environments. This includes adding users, configuring user roles and permissions, defining Media Library user groups, creating & managing structured metadata fields, and monitoring usage statistics, graphs, and other reports. Users with a Master admin role can additionally set Media Library and overall account options.

This guide provides detailed information about these topics:
