We integrated DAM in SDL-Tridion using a DAM connector. Now the requirement is, we would like to restrict the DAM folders for users / groups in tridion.
Do you have any suggestions about how to implement the user management in Tridion to put some restrictions on the DAM folders?
Thank You
To separate what ECL items the CMS users can see or select, consider these options depending on your use case.
If your use case is that the DAM has items that CMS users should not see or use, then don't expose those items through the ECL provider. That may be done programmatically in the ECL provider code or through however the DAM handles access for the configured ECL (system) user.
Ultimately, CMS users will select ECL items from a linking Component or Page. Here you could restrict access on the linking items using:
By removing read on the folder containing select Schemas, users won't be able to create or edit Components based on those Schemas.
Finally, if you have a use case that different sets of DAM items should be used by different Schemas, perhaps separate ECL providers to the same DAM might help. For example, you might separate images from videos and handle these through different ECL providers. See @Bart's answer to another ECL question for some context.
