Subscriptions (Studios)
In a coming release, to streamline your asset management, subscriptions (studios) are going away. Assets will be associated with users rather than a given subscription (studio). If you have assets in your Private Studio these will be associated with your user instead.
If you are using subscriptions (studios) to share assets, we recommend that you migrate shared assets to Collections to prepare for this improvement. See Collections for more info.
A subscription allows Designer users to publish and share workflows privately within your organization. Gallery admins can create subscriptions and manage the users and workflows assigned to them. Subscriptions are also known as studios.
A Private Studio (in other words, subscription) is automatically created for each gallery user. When a user creates a workflow in Designer and publishes it to the gallery, the workflow is added to the user's private studio (subscription). Workflows published to the private studio are private. Only other users assigned to the private studio (subscription) can see the workflows.
Access the Gallery Admin Interface
Access the Gallery Admin interface directly via the following URL: [BaseAddress]/gallery/admin
You can also access the Gallery Admin interface via Gallery. To do so, select your username and select Admin.
To manage subscriptions, select Subscriptions on the Admin toolbar.
Create a New Subscription
- On the Subscriptions page, select Add New Subscription.

The new subscription is added to the Subscriptions page.
Add a User to a Subscription

Remove a User from a Subscription
Users can only have one subscription. So, you must add a user to a new subscription to remove them from their existing subscription. There are two methods for moving a user from one subscription to another.
- Copy the Subscription Id of the new subscription and paste it in the Subscription Id field in the user's profile.
OR
- Go to the new subscription you want to add the user to. Select Add User. Enter the username and select the user when it appears. Note, this will change the user's Private Studio (subscription) and remove their access to the workflows in their existing subscription.
Edit a Subscription

Delete a Subscription
Before you delete a subscription (studio), you have to remove all users from it. To do so, add the users to another subscription.
To delete a subscription, find the subscription and select the trash icon next to the subscription name. Note, deleting a subscription also deletes the workflows in that subscription.
No Name Subscription
If your Gallery is using Integrated Windows Authentication, a subscription named No Name was created and listed on the Subscriptions page in versions prior to 2020.1. This can be deleted in version 2020.1 without causing Gallery access problems for new users.
