โ“ Issue/Question

  • How to change account type-level access at scale?
  • Is there a way to change the access for the whole collection?

ย 

๐Ÿ‘Œ Resolution/Answer

  • Go to the Media library or open the collection
  • Select all the media you want to change
  • Click the Access icon on the right

  • Go to the Add tab
  • Use the Select account types dropdown to choose the account types
  • Click Confirm

๐Ÿฅš Cause

  • Collection access depends on the access of its media, not on the collection itself, so access is set on each media
  • The bulk update applies the change to many media at once
