DAM administrator guides
Last updated: Sep-16-2024
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.
This guide provides detailed information about these topics:
User and group management
Create and manage the users and user groups in your account, and grant different permissions levels.

Settings and preferences
View and set Media Library preferences, account and product environment settings, and choose which optional apps to make available to your account users.
Folder modes
Learn about the differences between dynamic and fixed folder modes.
Upload presets
