# How to set the rights meta tag in Joomla 3.1

[![content-rights-meta-tag](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/edu_joomla-3_global-configuration_content-rights-meta-tag.gif)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/edu_joomla-3_global-configuration_content-rights-meta-tag.gif)

Within Joomla 3.0 you have the option to set a **rights** meta tag. This setting within Joomla is referred to as **Content Rights**, and can be found in the Metadata Settings. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to use the Content Rights setting in Joomla 3.0.

**To use a rights meta tag in Joomla 3.0:**

1. [Log into your Joomla 3.0 /administrator dashboard](/support/edu/joomla/joomla-3/how-to-log-in-to-administrative-dashboard/)
2. In the left navigation menu, click **Global Configuration**
3. Ensure you are on the Site tab by clicking **Site**
4. Towards the bottom of the page, you will find a **Content Rights** setting (under the **Metadata Settings**). If you leave this value blank, no *rights* meta tag will be added to your site. However, if you enter text such as ©2005-2011 Your company, Inc. All rights reserved, the following rights tag will be added: <meta name="rights" content="©2005-2011 Your company, Inc. All rights reserved" />
