Media Restrictions

Project-based media restrictions

For some projects, security requirements dictate that media on your Flow Production Tracking server can only be accessed from a subset of IP addresses, while still granting permissions to see more general production data to all users (whom have permissions to see that project).

To accommodate this type of requirement, we've built on top of our basic IP allowed list functionality to allow administrators to expose a field called Media Unrestricted IP Ranges on the Project entity.

With this field exposed, you can type in a comma-separated list of IP addresses and/or ranges that are allowed to access media (Attachment's) on that project. Please see the base IP allowed list documentation for further information about acceptable IP address formats.

In the example above you can see that:

To enable this field on your site, a site administrator can do so via the Enable Per-Project Media Allowed List option, under the Security panel on your Site Preferences page.

Admins can control which users have access to the links that download media.

From the People Page, add the Can See Media Download Links in Shotgun column.

Then, uncheck the box for users that you want to prevent from accessing these links.

Note:

Permission to see and update the Enable Per-Project Media Allowed List field can be controlled via the Permissions Page > Field Permissions > Person > Enable Per-Project Media Allowed List.

Any users that have this option unchecked will not be able to see the following links:

Note:

By default, new users have access to these links.
