   • View-only access: Contact the DAMS management team to get view-only access to assets stored in the DAMS.
   • Access for manually ingesting, editing, downloading or otherwise managing assets: Contact the Collection Supervisor for the respective collection in the DAMS. They need to submit a request to the DAMS management team to grant you the necessary permissions in the DAMS.
   • Access for batch-ingesting assets (in addition to manual ingest, edit, download, management permissions): Contact the Collection Supervisor for the respective collection in the DAMS and ask them to specify that you need to perform batch ingests.
