7. Media Types
Media
Media is the software repository available on UPM server or UPM Extended server for deployment.
As per the media inheritance scope it has been segregated in below categories:
Public Media : Media that is public and can be inherited or synced to downstream UPM Extended Servers
Base Media ,that is uploaded on UPM Server and gets inherited to downstream UPM Extended Servers
Extended Media , that is uploaded on first level UPM Extended Server and gets synced to downstream UPM Extended Servers
Private Media : Media that is private and cannot be inherited. This can be uploaded on
any UPM Server or Extended Server

9. Media ACLs
Media ACL is used to filter the software syncing and distribution and applicable on Public media only.
Global: Media available to all account.
Account Specific: Media which is restricted to specific account/s.
