Media owners can change the media ownership to someone else, this can be useful for example, in case the owner is leaving the organization or switching responsibilities and someone else needs to take ownership of the media. They can also add co-editors, co-publishers, co-viewers, and Webcasting moderators to their media. Adding media collaborators will allow the media to be available on their personal My Media.
If you cannot access this functionality, ask your administrator to give you the required permission.

Add Collaborators
Adding a user as a collaborator doesn't provide the user with capabilities overruling their KMS role. For example, when a user with a viewer role is added as a co-editor or co-publisher, that user will not have the ability to edit or publish content.

The types of collaborators and their permissions are as follows:- Co-Editor - can edit the entry's details and metadata, trim media, replace media, edit captions, edit chapters, and edit slides. Co-editors can't delete media or add new co-editors and co-publishers. Co-editors can see the analytics page for the media they co-edit.
- Co-Publisher - can publish media to their entitled Categories or Channels. This option must be enabled by your KMS administrator for this tab to display. Group support can be enabled for the Media Collaboration features. When enabled, you can select groups that may be assigned as co-editors/publishers for an entry.
