Brand Studio: Permissions

Drive owners and admins can control which brand assets — fonts, colors, layout packs, and media — other Drive members can use in their projects and compositions.

Brand Studio permissions are only available to Drives on an Enterprise plan

Brand Studio permissions require an Enterprise Drive. If you're on a Business plan and want to learn about Brand Studio's other features, see our Brand Studio article.

Underlord may not respect permissions

Even when permissions restrict asset access, Underlord (Descript’s AI co-editor) may create or apply content that doesn’t match your locked brand settings. If you use permissions to enforce strict brand guidelines, review Underlord’s edits before publishing.
