Permission Management: Simplified and Detailed
Note: BIMcloud Basic allows only Simplified management.
BIMcloud offers two different permission management modes:
•Simplified management
•Detailed management
Switch between these modes at Servers, on the BIMcloud Manager's Settings panel:
Simplified Management
Simplified management divides all users into three groups.
In BIMcloud Manager, go to the Users page. For each selected user, the Personal settings section of the Settings panel contains a Management role pop-up, where the management role is selected:
•Server Administrator
•Project Administrator
•Not set
Based on this Management role, the user will be granted access to items on the BIMcloud according to the following rules:
|
Server Administrator |
Project Administrator |
Not set |

Detailed Management
Each content item on the BIMcloud has its own Access panel. Users can view/modify the selected item according to the permissions they were granted on these panels.
What Happens When You Change to Detailed Mode?
All existing access permissions will be retained; all users can continue work without further interruption.
Two new User Groups appear on the Users page:
•Project Administrators
•Server Administrators
The existing Project and Server Administrators are added to these groups.
Two new roles are created on the Roles page:
•Full access (Contains all permissions)
•View only (Contains View item permission only)
The following accesses will be automatically granted to these two new groups on the root level of all content types:
|
Server Administrator |
Project Administrator |
Projects root |
Full access |
Full access |
Users root |
Full access |
View only |
Roles root |
Full access |

Servers root |
Full access |
View only |
Due to the inheritance of the permissions, these new permissions will apply to all items under the root. You will be able to fine-tune all permissions from now on, for each and every content item.
