[Vitrium customers control how and for how long content is accessible](https://www.vitrium.com/digital-rights-management-and-access-rights-for-content) by setting limitations such as **Expiration Controls** (expiry date and expiry time limit after first unlock), **Access Controls** (online and offline access), **Device/Browser Limits**, and **Print Control** (limit of print copies) .   ##### Limits Reached - Reset Permissions Once a user has reached any pre-set limit they will no longer be able to perform access or print the file unless you use Vitrium's **Clear Use** functionality to reset the limits. This functionality is a convenient way for administrators to reset security parameters for users in cases where there is legitimate cause for a user to have access to a file.  ##### Summary: How Vitrium's 'Clear Use' Functionality Works When a user has reached their permission limits, you can manually clear the past usage so that their access rights are refreshed, and the content becomes accessible to them again.
