Request download of restricted assets
When an asset is restricted, you must request permission to download it and specify its intended use. To make it easier to find a restricted or unrestricted asset, you can use the USAGE RIGHTS filter on the Assets page, which is available when your Sitecore Content Hub solution includes digital rights management (DRM). By specifying what you intend to do with an asset, you can filter out any assets that are not authorized to be used in that way.
If you select both restricted and unrestricted assets for download, you can directly download the unrestricted assets, but you must provide the intended use for the restricted assets.
To use the DRM email approval flow, you must configure DRM for email.
If a user requests to download an asset for a purpose not included in that asset’s usage rights, and their request is approved, the user can download only the original rendition of the asset.
