User permissions

Some actions on Arkindex require the user to have certain permissions. These permissions can be managed by instance administrators, and users can see them in the Permissions tab in their user profile.

Some of these permissions relate to file imports:

  • Can upload images is required to import local files into Arkindex.
  • Can create IIIF images is required to import IIIF manifests into Arkindex.
  • Can import files from S3 and Can create IIIF images are both required to import files from an S3 bucket into Arkindex (see the large upload documentation.)

Others have to do with workers:

  • Can create workers and worker versions is required in order to create new workers and/or worker versions.
  • Can manage workers is required in order to update or archive existing workers, as well as manage worker memberships (in addition to administrator access to these workers, if the instance uses Arkindex Enterprise Edition).
