Grant access to encryption key

Navigate to Administration -> Storage -> File Encryption, select the appropriate key and authorize users to access the data encrypted with the same key.

Administrators need to grant particular users access to encryption key(s) before they can play back (decrypt) audio files. Note, the administrator may grant access only to those encryption keys which are granted to him/her. If administrator (even if he/she has role "Root administrator") has no access to the encryption key, then he/she cannot grant access to other users for the same key.

MiaRec software never stores encryption keys in the database in plain text for security reasons. Even if an unauthorized party gains access to database files, he/she could not retrieve the private keys because they are stored in encrypted format. There is no way to gain user's private key without knowing the user's password.
