SharePoint Brand Center - Controlling who can see the branding assets
It is true that you currently cannot restrict branding assets.
However, with the standard organizational assets library, it is possible to manage permissions because it is based on a standard document library.
Hi,
Hopefully they change how they've architected it (not able to restrict fonts, themes, etc. is a showstopper). Currently, there's no way we can't look to turn on the Brand Center - it completely goes against Microsoft's idea of "centrally" managing branding - there is no way to manage anything.
We've been waiting for the branding for over a year now (had a run through from Microsoft via NDA quite a while ago) and completely misses the mark from where it was initially positioned. The ability to "centrally" manage branding for certain sites is a fundamental requirement for almost all companies. For example, we would want to set up a unique brand for our Cultural hub and can't have those branding assets available to the rest of the company to use in their sites. We have over 90k sites and a lot of individual branding requirements (similar to the Cultural hub example) but looks like it's not going to be possible.
Fingers crossed Microsoft have something planned so it's usable in future.
