# Photo Consent Guide

The flexible consent module is easy to use and works on three basic principles:

- Consent terms
- Usage rights
- Parties

Watch the video guide above and read highlights below.

Any image can have one or several consent agreements tied to different terms, rights, and parties. You’ll find the settings in the admin menu under **Resources** > **Consent**.

## How photo consent works

In Kontainer, consent management is simple and straightforward.

1. Set **Consent terms**; this is your legal text.
2. Add **Usage rights**; this is your usage types like press, advertising, social media, etc.
3. Add **Parties**/people in the settings panel or add them as you go.

The selected parties will receive an email with a link to approve consent.

## Tips for managing consent

Here are some of our top tips for consent management.

- Use the **Consent status** search filter to bring up all files of a specific status
- Make **[Smart Folders](https://helpdesk.kontainer.com/article/a-guide-smart-folders/)**, e.g., to only include images that have been approved.
- Find all images with a certain person by clicking **View all images of party** from the consent settings panel – Resources > Consent > Parties > [name]
- Search Kontainer for images of the same person with the **Facial Recognition** tool
