Authorization groups
About authorization groups
Use authorization groups to control access to content by grouping authorizations. For example, reference staff may need access to a particular content group or individual object. Grouping authorizations for reference staff together and then linking this authorization group to a content group or object provides this access.
Master authorization group
The system automatically creates a Master Authorization group and loads all of your institution's cataloging and FirstSearch authorizations into it. This automatic loading process occurs every 24 hours. Master Authorization Group will be the default for ingest unless you specify another group.
Public authorization group
The system automatically creates a Public Authorization group for each Administration Module user. If you assign the Public Authorization group to an object, you provide web access to the object to the general public.

Content groups
About content groups
Use content groups to organize your content. For example, you might create a content group for a particular object type, such as maps, or subject area, such as state history.
Master content group and additional content groups
All objects are part of the Master Content group by default and remain there as long as they are in the archive. At time of ingest, you assign an object to one additional content group.
After ingest, you can use the Administration Module's Content Group tab to assign as many content groups as needed to an object (content groups are virtual). Master Content Group will be the default for ingest unless you specify another group as default.
Object properties
At the time of ingest you assign the following properties to each object:
- Authorization group
- Rights statement
- Service level
You can assign the same properties to all objects in a content group.
After ingest, you can change the object properties. To change the properties of all objects in a content group, change the properties on the Content Group tab.
Authorization group
Each object can have only one authorization group assigned to it.
Rights statement
If you do not create your own rights statement, the default copyright statement is the only one available for you to assign to your objects.
Create content group
Important: The following properties cannot be assigned to a content group until the content group contains at least one digital archive record:
- Authorization group
- Rights statement
- Service level
You assign these properties when you ingest the record into the archive. Once assigned, you can change them from the Administration Module's Content Groups tab.
