Provide preference to always allow anyone with a link to access my Content Fusion tasks

[RuthHoward8]

Every time I create a CF task, I have to set the sharing on that task to allow anyone with the link to access it. Then I email the link to the reviewers.
Sometimes (often) I forget to change the task sharing and then the reviewers reply that they don't have access.
Please can we have a preference that allows me to have the sharing set to "anyone with the link" on all tasks that I create, rather than having to set it manually each time.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us.

We have logged a feature request (CF-4516) related to the use case you described. For now, it is not scheduled for development, but we will notify you once it is implemented.

Best,

As a workaround, until this option is added to the UI (according to the registered ticket CF-4516), you can set the task_default_access variable to PUBLIC in the api.properties file that can be found on the machine where Content Fusion is installed at: /fusion/data/config/api/ [1].

So, on the machine where Content Fusion is installed, you need to modify the file /fusion/data/config/api/api.properties by adding the following line:

Code: Select all

task_default_access=PUBLIC

This means that all newly created tasks from the moment of this change will have the checkbox "Anyone who opens the link is automatically granted access as a Reviewer" selected.

Of course, for the change made in the api.properties file to take effect, the Content Fusion server needs to be restarted [2].

Best,
Cosmin
