How do content access levels work with Advantage and Advantage Plus?
A title's content access level is assigned by the collection that owns the title. This means that Advantage accounts have their own default content access levels and can manage access levels for any titles they've added to their Advantage collection, including:
- Titles not in the shared collection (also called the consortium).
-
Titles the shared collection/consortium also owns. However, if the Advantage member and shared collection/consortium assign different access levels to the same title, the least restrictive access level will apply to Advantage users.
For example:- If the Advantage member has a title set to Juvenile and the shared collection/consortium has the same title set to Adult, the Juvenile access level applies to the Advantage users. The Adult level applies only to shared collection/consortium users who aren't also members of the Advantage collection.
- If the Advantage member has a title set to Adult and the shared collection/consortium has the same title set to Juvenile, the Juvenile access level applies to all users, regardless of their Advantage status.
Additional policies apply for titles that are shared or moved through Advantage Plus:
If an Advantage member shares a title that the shared collection/consortium doesn't own, the access level set by the Advantage member applies to their own users as well as the shared collection/consortium's users.
If the Advantage member shares a title that the shared collection/consortium already owns, each collection can set their own access level. The least restrictive access level available to a user applies, regardless of which collection owns that particular copy of the title.
If an Advantage member moves a title through Advantage Plus, ownership is transferred to the shared collection/consortium, so the shared collection/consortium sets the title's access level.
If the shared collection/consortium already owns the title, the moved copies will automatically have the access level they set previously. If the shared collection/consortium doesn't already own the title, the moved copies will automatically assume their default access level.
