titleUse Cases for Channels

Channel Use Cases

  • Separating content by type, status, department owner, or usage

  • Restricting the content shown to specific users, such as partners or customers" This is the base where you will find all Content Items.

  • New user roles are automatically added to the Root Channel and removed if the user role is deleted.

  • Every item created/uploaded with be seen in the Root Channel (if view permission is given). There is no Query Filter on the Root Channel per default, although one can be set.

  • You can't delete the root channel as Picturepark depends on it for uploads and collections.
