Sometimes we need certain files to be accessible before logging into the environment, such as an image placed on the login page or a file we want to have accessible from that page.

For this, we can use the Content Collection as long as we give the correct permissions to the file we are going to upload.

Let's follow an example where we will upload an image that will be displayed on the login page.

We will go to Admin Panel > Content Management > Manage Content and enter the folder where we will upload the file. In this example, we will upload that image to /institution/brands.

If the folder exists, we access it by clicking on it. If it does not exist, we can create it with Create Folder and give it a name. We enter the folder and now we will upload the file using the button Upload > Upload Files.

Drag and drop the files you want to upload or use the button Browse Local Files to add them to the box and click Submit to upload them.

Now let's see how to change the permissions so that it is visible from outside without needing to access the system. For the image we uploaded, open the context menu and click on Permissions.

This will show a page with the list of users who can access the file and the permissions they have (read, write, etc.)

We need to edit them to make it public, so click Allow Everyone. We will only give read permission to everyone. Confirm that the checkbox is marked and save.

Now we can add the link to this image from the login page.

Be sure to add the link using the file's XID so the image won't break if it is renamed or moved. You can see the XID of any file within Content from its context menu by clicking Edit Settings. The URL you would add to the login page to place the image would be /bbcswebdav/xid-68816_1
