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:
•Project Structure
•Attributes
•Work with Elements
•More
•Scheduling and Listing
•Administration
•External Content
The following are the predefined access rights for Teamwork projects.
Most access rights are self-explanatory. In this table, we have added a brief explanation where warranted.
