Manage application memberships

Edit online

When the Files or Packages apps are enabled for a workspace, all workspace members can use the app. To give users access to the Activity and Automation apps, you must specifically add them as app members.

Files app and Packages app memberships are always in the context of a workspace. This is not true of the Activity and Automation apps because actions performed in these apps are not confined to any single workspace.

Files and Packages apps

Both the Files and Packages apps are enabled by default in the org and for all workspaces. You can disable either app at the org level; if you do, that app is not available in any workspace. If enabled at the org level, you can disable either app in any workspace. When disabled in a workspace, the app is not available to any user in that workspace. When enabled in a workspace, all workspace members are automatically members of the app; all new users added to the workspace are automatically members of the app. See Accelerate setup using inherited settings for details.

Activity app

Activity app members can monitor events, file access, transfer activity, and volume usage in the Aspera on Cloud organization. You can add org admins and regular users and groups as members of the Activity app.

Content security in the Activity app

Keep in mind that all Activity app members can monitor events, activity, and usage across the entire org, including in workspaces where they are not members. For this reason, app members are typically org admins.

Manage memberships

Assuming the app is enabled for the org and that the user is an org member, manage membership in the Activity app:
  1. To add an org member to the Activity app, go to Applications > Activity > Members > Add members.
  2. Enter one or more user names and click Add.
To remove a member of the Activity app, do the following:
  1. Go to Applications > Activity > Members.
  2. Filter or browse for the member to remove.
  3. Right-click the row and select Revoke; or select multiple members and click Revoke at the top of the member list.
  4. Click Revoke to confirm.

Automation app

The Automation app is available in Standard Plus and Premium editions of Aspera on Cloud.

Automation app members can build automated workflows to initiate file transfers, make calls to an API, and send event notifications. You add org admins and regular users as members of the Automation app. Within the Automation app, org admins have certain options and privileges and regular users don't have. For details, see Automation app: Automate your transfer workflows.
