# Add restrictions and embargoes to assets

*/Processes/Add_restrictions_and_embargoes_to_assets*

## Process Profile

**Outcome**: The asset is successfully tagged with enforced rules that prevent distribution outside of approved times, regions, or platforms.
**Trigger**: A media asset is ingested or a licensing agreement dictates specific distribution limitations.
**Key Steps**:
- Identify the asset requiring distribution limitations
- Review licensing agreements and legal compliance rules
- Define embargo windows and geographic restrictions
- Apply restriction metadata to the asset profile
- Verify restriction enforcement in the distribution system
- Schedule automatic release upon embargo expiration
**Measured By**:
- [Embargo Breach Rate](/Metrics/Embargo_Breach_Rate)
- [Restriction Setup Cycle Time](/Metrics/Restriction_Setup_Cycle_Time)
- [Asset Metadata Accuracy](/Metrics/Asset_Metadata_Accuracy)

## Boundary Of Firm

**Outsourced To**:
- [Rights Management Service Provider](/CompanyTypes/Rights_Management_Service_Provider)
- [Media Asset Management Service Bureau](/CompanyTypes/Media_Asset_Management_Service_Bureau)
**Automatability**: augmented
**Routing Summary**:
- Setting which restrictions and embargo windows apply is kept in-house because it depends on firm-specific licensing terms and editorial policy.
- Once the rules are defined, software applies and enforces the restriction and embargo flags on each asset, so the mechanical enforcement is automated.
- Firms with large rights backlogs outsource bulk rights-metadata tagging to a rights management service provider while retaining policy ownership.
