Assets administrator guides

Last updated: Feb-19-2025

If you're a Master admin or Admin user, it may be your responsibility to define the way the DAM will be used in your organization, or within specific Cloudinary product environment(s). This includes adding users, configuring user roles and permissions, defining Media Library user groups, creating and 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.
