# User Actions

### Overview

The **My Recordings** module in Mango Recorder provides tools for managing and sharing recordings.  User features include pinning recordings for quick access, renaming, adding hashtags for easy search, setting custom thumbnails, and adding call-to-action buttons to videos. 

Bulk actions and the search feature streamline management, while new recordings inherit default privacy settings and can be directly uploaded. These capabilities ensure efficient recording organization and collaboration across the platform.

### **Individual Actions for Recordings**

Once a user has uploaded or captured media to the module, they will have additional options available to them from the 3-dot menu located in the bottom right corner of each file.

#### **Permissions**

Users can set sharing permissions for individual recordings, independent of the [default permission settings](https://guides.mangoapps.com/user-guide/my-recordings/my-recordings-module-toolbar#privacy-and-permissions-settings) for the module.

While viewing the share permissions pop-up menu, click **Share with more: Colleagues, Teams, or Anyone outside the company** to generate share links and configure their permission levels.

Generate a share link for **specific colleagues** to assign the following permission levels:

* **Owner:** Grants full ownership rights to the specified colleague.
* **Editor:** Allows the specified colleague to edit. Default permissions for admins, network members, and guest members (as set in the team) will still apply, but individual member permissions can be customized here.

General permission levels for public and internal links:

* **Viewer**
* **Viewer (No Download)**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

```
GET https://guides.mangoapps.com/user-guide/my-recordings/user-actions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
