List of Access Rights

A Role is a set of access rights. The access rights enable a user to create, delete/modify, and/or manage particular element types or data types.

This list of access rights can be viewed and customized:

At the BIM Server level:

Go to the Roles page of BIM Server Manager. Choose a Role, then click Settings to view or change access rights. These are your company-defined roles; they are applied globally to all projects on the server.

At the project level:

For a new project: during the Share process, you can modify the access rights of any users, using the Users and Roles page. Select a user, then select “Custom” from the pop-up at the end of the row to customize access rights for the user.)

For an existing project: go to the Users and Roles page of Project Settings (as above).

Access Rights are divided into seven categories:
