Note: By default, Oxygen Content Fusion uses a self-signed certificate. If you did not change it, the browser will display a security warning. Continue (for example, if you are using Edge, click Details and then Go on to the webpage).

General Tab

This tab contains the following options:

Server Address

Displays the IP address or DNS name of your server and you can change it.

HTTPS enabled for Content Fusion

Select this option to enable HTTPS protocol for your users. When you select this checkbox, it will expand and provide options to upload your certificate and private key in PEM format. The key should be unencrypted.

After you upload your certificate, the information in the displayed TLS certificate table will be updated accordingly.

Note: Make sure that the certificate file you upload includes any intermediate certificates that your HTTPS certificate depends on. The certificates should be concatenated and the certificate for your domain should be included first.

Task sharing behavior (toggle option)

Tasks can be shared publicly (default): If selected, any registered user can access the task by using its link. When this option is selected, it also means that an option named Anyone who opens the link is automatically granted access as a Reviewer is available in the Sharing settings dialog box. Selecting that option means that even non-registered users will automatically be granted access when they use the task link.
Tasks can only be accessed by specified collaborators: If selected, all tasks have restricted access and task owners cannot make them public. Also, the Anyone who opens the link is automatically granted access as a Reviewer option is NOT available in the Sharing settings page when this option is selected.

Editing and Publishing Security

Use this option to configure a list of trusted hosts. Each trusted host needs to be listed on a separate line.

License Tab

If a license key has been activated on your server, this tab simply contains a Manage License button. Clicking this button opens a license management and statistics page.

If a license key has not been activated, you have two options:

If you have already received a license key, choose the Already have a license key option, paste your license key in the text field and click Activate.
Otherwise, choose the Request a trial license key option and complete the request form.

If you want to replace the current license key:

Choose Manage license.
On the newly opened page, choose Replace/Remove license key, then choose Replace.
Paste your license key and choose Register/Activate.

Users Management Tab

This tab can be used to assign user roles that determine the functionality they have access to when working with projects in Content Fusion. You can use the drop-down menu to the right of each user to assign one of two roles:

SME (Subject Matter Expert/Reviewer) - This role allows the user to access review tasks assigned to them and to create review tasks from scratch. This role uses a floating license model.
Author - In addition to the features that an SME has access to, Authors can access all projects and are able to create review tasks inside projects, as well as other functionality that is restricted from an SME. This role uses a named-user license model.

The amount of users that can be assigned to each role is dependent upon the limits imposed by the license key. You can buy additional users when renewing the subscription or add Authors to an existing subscription.

For more details, see Users Management.

To delete a user, select Delete user from the drop-down menu to the right of the user.
