Assign a user or group with the content manager (sn_cd.content_manager) role to a content item so only that user or group can edit and publish the content.
Before you begin
Role required: sn_cd.content_admin

About this task
Provide a content manager or group of managers with exclusive access to sensitive content, such as a notice of an upcoming merger or reduction of workforce.
Alternatively, use a content item as a template that can be repeatedly cloned and assigned to content owners for customization.
Procedure
Navigate to All > Content Publishing > Content Library > View All.
Select a topic.
From the top-left menu (
Menu icon\), select **View content record**.
- To assign ownership to a user, select the **Restrict content by user** tab.
- To assign ownership to a group, select the **Restrict content by group** tab.
Click New.
From the User or Group field, click the Lookup using list (
Lookup using list icon\) icon and select a user or group.
**Note:** Only groups that have the content admin \(sn\_cd.content\_admin\) or content manager \(sn\_cd.content\_manager\) roles appear. If the members of the group have these roles, but the group does not, the group does not appear.
Select Submit.
After a user or group is associated with content, only that user or group can access the content when scheduling content or when adding content to a campaign. Removing the user or group makes the content accessible by all content managers.
