LICENSE & RIGHTS MANAGEMENT Manage licenses and usage rights
Ensure every asset is used according to the rights attached to it. Keep licensing and usage information connected to your content, so teams can confidently find, share, and publish assets while reducing compliance risk.
Know exactly how assets can be used
Rights, consent, and licensing information are often scattered across contracts, emails, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems. Without clear visibility into usage rights, organizations face compliance risks, operational inefficiencies, and lost trust in their content.
Centralize rights and licensing information across your content ecosystem
Rights Management Manage usage rights and licensing terms
Keep licensing agreements, copyright information, attribution requirements, and usage restrictions attached to every asset. Give users clear visibility into how content can be used, where it can be published, and under which conditions.
- Define permitted and restricted uses
- Capture licensing terms as metadata
- Record copyright ownership and attribution requirements
- Support editorial, commercial, and internal-use rights
- Surface rights information directly on assets
Track & automate compliance with licenses and expiration dates
Missing license deadlines can lead to unnecessary costs, compliance issues, and reputational risk. Track license periods and expiration dates directly inside your DAM. Use metadata, workflows, and notifications to help teams identify assets approaching expiration and take action before rights lapse. Prevent expired content from being reused in campaigns, publications, websites, and downstream systems.
- Automate actions for expired items - archiving, markers, notifications
- Reduce expired asset usage
- Improve license compliance
ACCESS CONTROL Control who can access and use content
Not every asset should be available to every user. Use roles, permissions, collections, and workflows to control access to licensed or restricted content. Ensure sensitive, embargoed, or rights-limited assets are only available to authorized users and teams. By combining usage rights with governance controls, organizations can reduce risk while making approved assets easier to find and share.
- Role-based permissions for viewing, downloading, editing, and sharing
- Single Sign-On (SSO) with enterprise identity providers
- Automatic access restrictions
- Version history and audit trails for asset changes
- Visual indicators showing rights status and usage availability
- Read-only access and watermarking for sensitive content
- We now know what rights we have with every single image.
