Share your content with another UNSW staff member

You can share administrative control over your content with another UNSW staff member by making them an Agent for a specific collection, gallery or media item (eg. video, audio, image or document). This will allow the Agent to:

  • View, edit and delete your media collections / galleries and media items
  • Use/share your media collections / galleries and media items
  • Link to your collections/galleries and media items via Moodle's Media Collection activity
  • Link to your media items via Moodle's file picker

In order to provide access you must search for people using their zID. Access can be revoked at a later time through the same interface.

To add an agent to a specific collection, gallery or media item:

  1. Log into theBox using your zID and zPass.
  2. Navigate to the collection, gallery or media item you want to share.
  3. In the settings menu, click the Manage Agents button.
