User Permissions & Types of User Profiles

Bynder categorizes users into three groups: Light, Regular and Heavy users. The exact number of seats per user profile that you have at your disposal is specified in your contract.

Whether a user is a Regular, Light or a Heavy user depends on the set of rights they have. If a user group has one or more rights that belong to the rights of a Heavy user, the group will automatically fall under a Heavy user profile. If a group doesn't have any Heavy user rights, but it does have one or more rights that belong to Regular users, the group will fall under a Regular user permission profile. The same logic applies for Light permission profiles.

As an administrator you have the flexibility to create permission profiles that match with the responsibilities of your employees. For example, a DAM permission profile for users who mainly work in the DAM or a Creative Workflow profile for users using and/or managing the Creative Workflow.

To help you monitor how many active users there are in each profile, you can verify the numbers on the Permissions page or in the Cockpit. The count displays active users against all users of a specific profile. Click the profile hyperlink to view the list of all active and inactive users.

Rights of Light, Regular and Heavy users

Bynder has a default set of rights that defines the Heavy, Regular and Light user types. You can customize this default setting by adding or subtracting rights from the user types. However, when you upgrade users by giving them more rights, they can move, for example, from Regular to Heavy users. If you reach your user limit, you might have to deactivate some users or contact your Customer Support Manger to extend the number of users per user type. The rights that are not mentioned in the table do not influence the user profile type.
