Security Tab Features

Playlists have a range of security options that can be accessed from the Security tab in the Playlist Share area.

Watermarking

  • Watermarking files in your playlist provides the ability to trace any illegal/unwanted leaks back to the specific contact responsible for the leak (requires additional subscription).
  • Note the "WATERMARKED" flag under the playlist name.

Link Expiry

  • Set an expiry (expiration) date for playlist URLs to be disabled.
  • Edit the expiry date with the pen icon to the right.
  • All playlist URLs assigned an expiry date will become inaccessible on that specific date.

Password Protection

  • Password protect playlist URLs (you must share each password separately).
  • You can't set a different password for each recipient, so the password will be the same for everyone who you've shared the playlist with.

Streaming Only

  • Set to Streaming Only to remove all download and Save to DISCO options.

Disabling Assigned URLs

You have to assign a URL to each contact, or use the "email playlist directly" option for this feature to work. The public playlist URL (from the Copy URL tab) can not be disabled.
  • Click the “X” in the Action column to the right of each URL to disable it for a specific contact.

  • All other contacts assigned URLs will still retain access to them. 
  • When you email playlists directly from the Share area, an Assigned URL is generated for each contact and added to the list.
  • Re-enable URLs by clicking the circular arrow in the Action column.
