Manage brand kit access
Brand kits might contain information that should only be accessible to certain users. Admins and users with the right app role have specific permissions to brand kits. This topic covers how access is granted, updated, or removed, and what roles are involved in managing brand kit users.
Permissions to manage brand kit access
Brand kit access is controlled by Stream app roles: Admin, User or Read-only app roles have limited permissions to brand kits they've been added to.
-
Adding users - admins can add users with either the User or Read-only app role to any brand kit. Users with the User app role can only add Read-only users to brand kits they're part of.
-
Removing users - admins can remove users with the User or Read-only app role from a brand kit. Users with a User app role can remove Read-only users they previously added. Read-only users cannot remove anyone.
-
Receiving notifications - when added to a brand kit, User or Read-only users receive a notification with a direct link to the brand kit.
-
Viewing brand kits - admins can see all brand kits in the platform. User or Read-only users can only see brand kits they've been added to.
Add a user to a brand kit
Admins can add users who do not have access to a specific brand kit directly from the brand kit page. Users with a User app role can only add Read-only users to a brand kit, and only if they have been added to that brand kit themselves. Read-only users cannot add anyone.

You can remove users from a brand kit to revoke their access. After removal, they will no longer have access to the brand kit and its brand knowledge in any Sitecore app that uses it.
Admins can remove users with a User or Read-only app role from a brand kit. Users with a User app role can only remove Read-only users they have added. Read-only users cannot remove anyone.
To remove a user from a brand kit:
-
In the navigation menu, click Design. Then, in the left sidebar, select Brand kits.

next to the name. -
