Requesting a review of assigned file rights

Only consumers can request a review of a file’s assigned intellectual property rights, if the file needs to be used in a manner not specified by the current rights. When a review is requested, a review request workflow is sent to a rights manager. The rights manager can review the assigned rights and either approve or reject the usage. If new rights are negotiated for the file, the rights manager may update the assigned rights.

To request a review of rights assigned to a file:

  1. Navigate to and select a file with assigned rights.

  2. Click View > Properties > IP rights or click the Rights icon ().

  3. Select and review the IP rights assigned to the file from the Existing IP Rights list.

  4. If none of the available rights satisfy your intended usage for the files, click Request Rights.

    The Usage Information dialog appears.

  5. Enter the name of the project where the file is to be used and a description of how the file will be used.

  6. Click Request Rights.

  7. Click OK.

    A workflow is started to request usage for the file. A review request ticket is sent to a rights manager (that is, users assigned to the role dam_rm_admin).
