Hi,  
  
  
  
I created an email template. I inserted several elements like an unsubscribe and an asset link. The unsubscribe link is somehow encrypted per sent email - the URL is [http://mautic](http://mautic)…/email/unsubscribe/55fdb0f354a47. Unfortunately the asset link is [http://mautic](http://mautic)…/asset/2:asset-title, which is the direct (permanent) URL to the asset.  
  
  
  
The unsubscribe link is email specific and cannot be “given away” easily. The problem with the asset link is that it is not email specific or encrypted, which means it can be given away without any problem.  
  
  
  
Is there any way to obscure an asset link (or make it email recipient specific?  
  
  
  
Thank you,  
  
  
  
Peter

Hi,

I created an email template. I inserted several elements like an unsubscribe and an asset link. The unsubscribe link is somehow encrypted per sent email - the URL is [http://mautic](http://mautic)…/email/unsubscribe/55fdb0f354a47. Unfortunately the asset link is [http://mautic](http://mautic)…/asset/2:asset-title, which is the direct (permanent) URL to the asset.

The unsubscribe link is email specific and cannot be “given away” easily. The problem with the asset link is that it is not email specific or encrypted, which means it can be given away without any problem.

Is there any way to obscure an asset link (or make it email recipient specific?

Thank you,

Did you test with a non-admin user in a non-admin browser session?
