Revoking Access Authorization for External Applications
Starting with version 2020.9, MediaCentral Cloud UX enhances the options on how to open assets in apps: Administrators can define one or more applications that can be used to work with Avid assets, outside of MediaCentral Cloud UX. If your MediaCentral Cloud UX system is configured to allow an external application accessing data, you have to grant access rights when you first open an asset in MediaCentral Cloud UX with the external application. In this release, the MediaCentral Asset Management Cataloger is configured as an external application. For more information, see
Opening Assets with an External Application.
As soon as you authorize the access, a record for the external application is shown in your User Settings. Here, you can see the access rights you granted and revoke the access authorization. If you do so, you will be prompted to authorize access again the next time you want to open an asset in the external application from within MediaCentral Cloud UX.
To revoke access authorization:
1. Click the User Profile button on the right side of the Fast Bar and select User Settings.
The User Settings dialog box opens.
2. In the navigation panel, select the Code Grants settings group.
3. To see the granted rights, hover the mouse pointer over the application record and then over the “i” icon, which is then shown on the right side of the application record.
4. To revoke the granted access rights, hover the mouse pointer over the application record and then click the Remove icon, which is then shown on the right side of the application record.
The Remove authorization prompt opens.
5. Click Remove Authorization.
The access authorization is removed and you will see a corresponding message.
6. Close the User Settings dialog box.
