Add a collaborator in MediaSpace

In addition to sharing media via a channel or a link, you can share media and delegate collaboration privileges to your media through MediaSpace Collaborator roles.

How do I add a collaborator in MediaSpace?

Log in to your My Media at media.pdx.edu
Select the media item to which you would like to add a collaborator.
Select Actions (1) and then Edit (2).

Select the Collaboration tab (3).
Select the + Add Collaborator button (4).

Search for the person you wish to add by name or Odin.
Select the role(s) for the collaborator.
Select Add.

If you cannot find the user you wish to add, they may need to log in to MediaSpace to activate their account first. Once they have logged in to MediaSpace once, you should be able to find them.

Collaborator roles and definitions

Co-Editors can edit the entry’s details and metadata, trim media, replace media, edit captions, edit chapters and edit slides. Co-editors cannot delete media or add new co-editors and co-publishers. Co-editors can see the analytics page for the media they co-edit.
Co-Publishers can publish media to their entitled Categories or Channels. Group support may be enabled for the Media Collaboration features. When enabled, you can select groups that may be assigned as co-editors/publishers for an entry.
Co-Viewers are only able to view media and do not have editing permissions nor are allowed to view unlisted entries, unless they are also co-publishers or co-editors of that entry.
