The **asset privacy system** lets you control how creators and experiences can use and distribute your models, meshes, images, decals, audio, video, and animation assets on Roblox. Assets can have one of two access privacy types:

When an asset is open use, Roblox doesn't need to check its permissions when it loads into an experience because every creator and experience can use it. However, when an asset is restricted, Roblox **always** checks its permissions when it loads into an experience or when a creator takes an action on the asset, such as inserting it into Studio, sharing it with another creator, or listing it on the [Creator Store](../../production/creator-store.md).

If a creator or experience doesn't have permission to use an asset, it cannot load in Studio, and a clickable error message displays in the [Output](../../studio/output.md) window. If a creator has permission to use an asset but the experience they're working on does not, clicking the error message displays a pop-up window to allow the creator to grant permission to the experience for any restricted assets.

You can list your or your group's restricted assets by themselves or as a dependency of a restricted asset on the Creator Store. This allows creators to use your assets as you list them under models, mesh parts, or packages, and disallows them from accessing and repackaging your restricted asset dependencies.

Every model, mesh part, and animation that you create are restricted **by default** to ensure that no one else can use your assets unless you explicitly grant permission to a creator, group, or experience, or list them on the Creator Store. If you want to extend this default permission to meshes, images, and decals, you must opt-in to the **Asset Privacy** beta.

Individual creators and groups can opt into the beta via Creator Dashboard to apply permissions to newly created assets by default. Users and groups who are opted into the beta have their Images, Meshes, and Decals created as **Restricted** as default.

In order for a collaborator, such as an individual creator or group, or an experience to use one of your restricted assets, you must explicitly grant permission before it's visible or audible at runtime. Once a collaborator or experience has **explicit** permission to use a restricted asset, they also receive **implicit** permission to use the asset in a variety of additional scenarios. For more information, see the following subsections.

If you want to cross-publish a place from an experience that includes the restricted asset into an entirely different experience, you and the experience that includes the restricted asset must have permission to use the restricted asset, either as the owner of the asset or as a collaborator that has been granted explicit permission. If you meet these conditions, the experience that receives the place file also gains implicit permission to use the restricted asset in any of its place files, even if the asset loads through scripts.
154
-
155
-
However, if you try to cross-publish an unpublished place into an entirely different experience, a pop-up displays with options on how to manage any restricted assets. If you're qualified to grant permission to the new experience, such as if you own the experience, the pop-up's **Grant All Permissions** button explicitly grants the new experience permission to use the place's restricted assets.
