## What to use instead

Restrict access with access_control instead: set it per asset with the Upload API's explicit method or the Admin API's update resource method (POST /v1_1/{cloud_name}/resources/{resource_type}/{type}/{public_id}).

## Cloudinary API's words

> Updates the access mode of resources (assets) by public ID, by tag, or by prefix. Deprecated.
