BIMcloud Access panels

See who has access to each content item on BIMcloud Manager

Select a content item in BIMcloud Manager. The Access panel shows which users or groups have access to that item.



The Access panel can display who has access in two different ways:
  • Compact view:
    • The top part of the list displays users/groups if they were granted access to this particular item (the admin added their name manually - see Grant access)
    • The bottom section (“Access inherited from parent folders”) displays users/groups who can access this item because they already have access to the parent folder. Access granted at a higher level of the folder hierarchy is inherited downwards by all of its child elements.


  • Summarize by users:This is a flat list of users and groups who have access to this item

To switch between Compact View and Summarize by users, use the pop-up above the list.



See user’s permissions

In the Access panel of any content item: Hover over a user or group and click Details.



The details page shows all permissions for this user, by role.



Each permission allows the user to perform a specific operation. The Summary column shows the aggregated permissions for the selected user/group.

The final permission set for a user for the content item is an aggregate of all roles which have been assigned to them or their groups.
