Viewing the Rights Granted for the Active Document

Right Manager, available from Composer and Sync, lets content creators define the Composer capabilities available when Composer (SMG) files are opened in Composer Player or a Composer Player plug-in application.

  • To view the rights for the active document in Composer Player, click Help > About Composer Player.

    In the dialog box that appears, the Right Manager section lists the various rights:

    • Granted rights have green bullets.
    • Denied rights have red bullets.

    The table below describes the different rights.
