Assign Company and PR Group Access
Company access and PR group access are separate from role permissions. Each track has a setup page (catalog) and an access page (user toggles).
Prerequisites: DAM users exist (Maintain DAM users).
| Track | Catalog | Assignment matrix |
|---|---|---|
| Companies | Company Setup (/missioncontrol/security/company-setup) | Company Access (/missioncontrol/security/company-access) |
| PR groups | PR Group Setup (/missioncontrol/security/pr-group-setup) | PR Group Access (/missioncontrol/security/pr-group-access) |
Skip a track if your team does not use that Vista access model.
Shared pattern
- Load the catalog on the Setup page (Add / Import / Refresh).
- Assign users on the Access page (toggle matrix; saves immediately).
- Export or sync that domain on Security Exports & Syncs.
Setup-page Refresh updates the DAM catalog from Vista Configs / cache. It is not Run Sync on the export page.
Company Setup
Where: D.A.M. Security Manager → Company Setup
Grid columns: Company, Company Name.
| Action | Notes |
|---|---|
| Add Company | Enter Company number and Company Name. Security Group is auto-generated as 10000 + Company. |
| Import Companies | Import Companies (CSV/XLSX); columns Company, Company Name; optional Replace companies |
| Refresh Companies | From companies already synced in Vista Configs; optional Replace companies |
| Delete Companies | Delete selected — also deletes that company’s user assignments for the team |
Replace companies
On Refresh Companies, enabling Replace companies warns that existing company assignments will be wiped before reload. Prefer leave replace off unless you intend to rebuild Company Access.
Company Access
Where: D.A.M. Security Manager → Company Access
| Rows | Users (VPUserName, Full Name) |
| Columns | Visible companies (Company - Company Name, or company number) |
| Cell | Assigned / not assigned — click to toggle; saves immediately |
Filters: Search, Companies (which columns show), Clear Filters.
Company access does not change role/duty permissions. User Setup Replace users can wipe company assignments (see Maintain DAM users).
PR Group Setup
Where: D.A.M. Security Manager → PR Group Setup
Requires an active team. Actions are disabled when no team is selected.
Grid columns: Company, PR Group, Description.
| Action | Notes |
|---|---|
| Add PR Group | Company, PR Group, optional description |
| Import PR Groups | Import PR Groups (XLSX); columns Company, PR Group, Description; optional Replace PR groups |
| Refresh PR Groups | Syncs from the cached Vista source (replace: false — no replace toggle in the UI) |
| Delete PR Groups | Delete selected — also deletes user assignments for those PR groups |
PR Group Access
Where: D.A.M. Security Manager → PR Group Access
| Rows | Users |
| Columns | Visible PR groups (Company - PR Group) |
| Cell | Toggle assign/unassign; saves immediately |
Filters: Search, PR Groups, Clear Filters.
PR group access is independent of company access and of user-role assignment.
Export / sync
When catalogs and toggles look right:
- Export and sync DAM security to Vista → Company Access and/or PR Group Access sections.
