About the Permissions Wizard

A content contributor will run Content Sharing Wizard at the end of a content upload flow.  Permissions set during this flow will determine who can: Discover, Download, Use, Distribute and Modify the content shared to MOTAR. 
Not only can you set original permissions but you can modify permissions and set fine grain permissions down to the individual user or organization level.
