Cannot change who edits global images from inside Capable
What you are seeing
I cannot change who edits global images from inside Capable
#Why it happens
Confluence does not let apps change permissions on the space that holds global images. That is why the Asset access tab only shows who has access and cannot change it.
#What to do
Go to Capable settings → Asset access and choose 'Manage in Confluence'. That takes you to the permission screen for the CAPABLEASSETSTORE space, where you can make the change.
Clear Add and Delete for anyone who should not change global images, but leave View so they can still place images on pages.
Do not remove the Capable app's own permissions. Indexing, AI, page copy and publishing to Capable Sites will stop working, and you will not see an error.
