Who can use Content ID and Content Manager style tools?

These tools are for approved rights holders and partners, not for every account.

A common misunderstanding is that every channel owner can use rights-management tools. They cannot.

• Content ID is available to copyright owners that YouTube has approved. See the official page for the current criteria.
• Content management tools for partners are granted to partners under agreements with YouTube.
• An ordinary creator account manages its own videos in YouTube Studio, including responding to claims on those videos.

If your organisation licenses or distributes content for others, the right route to these tools is an agreement with YouTube or with a partner that already has one. Level 8 of the Academy explains the concepts; finishing it does not grant access to any tool.
