Share Images or Videos

Media available in the feeds are viewable by the project participants, depending on the access restrictions assigned to them or the album containing them. 

• You can define and modify access restrictions only for the media files you uploaded and those shared with you.
• You cannot remove access to the creator for the items that are shared with you.
• By default, an album's access restrictions apply to its content. See Share an album for more details.
• You can reduce access limitations for an item by shifting it from a higher restriction level to a lower one, but you cannot tighten them. For example, a file can be changed from 'Restricted' to 'Public,' but not the other way round.

There are three types of access restrictions applied to the media in feeds:

• Public - Viewable by all users belonging to all companies participating in the project
• Restricted - Viewable only by users belonging to selected companies participating in the project  
• Private - Viewable only by selected persons from your company who participate in the project. This includes, for example, fellow project managers, construction managers, project directors, etc.
