To start using Asset Manager for your organization, you need to:
- Create an Asset Manager project.
- Invite members to your project.
- Assign a Project Manager or grant Asset Manager permissions to members.
Create an Asset Manager Project
Cloud Projects are shared across Unity Cloud services. Since Asset Manager is one such service, you need to enable it on an existing Cloud Project. If you don't have any existing Cloud Project, you can create one from scratch by following these steps:
When you're an Admin or a Manager of your organization and it's the first time you connect to the Asset Manager, you need to create an Asset Manager Project:
-
Connect to the Asset Manager in Unity Cloud.
-
Select Create Project on the main page.
-
There are 2 tabs to either:
- Create a new Asset Manager project
- Enable an existing Project
-
Enter a Name.
-
Validate.
You can create other projects through Manage Projects at the bottom of the Left Navigation. When creating a project directly from Asset Manager, it creates a Unity Cloud Project and enables Asset Manager automatically.
Invite Members to Your Project and Choose a Project Manager
When your Asset Manager project is created, you need to invite members and assign them a user type and a project role so they can access and manage content with the appropriate level of permissions.
For this:
- Right-click on the project in the left nav and select Project settings.
- Under the project details, select the Project members tab.
- Select Add project members.
- In the Emails field, enter the user's email address.
- Select the project user type. Members of your organization can have one of the following user types in a project: Owner, Manager, or User.
If you select Owner or Manager, this user will now have the ability to invite and manage member permissions in this particular project (recommended). Refer to Manage access to your project to learn more about Project user types.
An email is sent to the user when you invite them to a project.
Bear in mind that if the user is not a member of your organization, they will be invited as a Project Guest. Project Guests can receive project add-on roles and can only see the project they have been invited to.
Grant Asset Manager-Specific Project Roles
You can also invite other members and assign them a Project User type. In order for these members to see the project in Asset Manager, you need to grant them an Asset Manager role: Contributor, Consumer, or Viewer. See Asset Manager roles documentation for more information about permissions.
Inform the Project Manager and Start Uploading Assets
You can now contact the Project Manager to inform them that they can invite members to the created project and grant roles. All members added to the project with a Project Manager user type or an Asset Manager project role can see the project in Asset Manager.
As an Org Owner or Org Manager, you have full permissions on the project. You can also create, browse, or download assets.
