Permission Levels

A user’s Permission Levels control what that user can do or see within the BIM Direct system.

There are 4 different permission levels within BIM Direct:

• Role Access – gives the user access to projects based on the role that they have within that project (for example, to comment on projects where they are a Collaborator)

• Create Projects – gives the user Role Access, plus the ability to create new projects

• Manage Employers – gives the user Create Projects access, plus the ability to create and edit employers

• Admin User – gives the user full access to all of your organisation’s projects, plus the ability to create and edit employers and users

In addition to these 4 settings, there is a separate checkbox to give a user Data Administrator access. Enabling this setting allows the user to create and edit Templates.

The table below shows how each permission level affects the actions that a user can perform:

(!) Role Access is a good way to give a user outside of your organisation access to a single project.

A user with Role Access, Create Projects, or Manage Employers will have a different level of access to projects depending on the role that they have within that project. These are known as Project Access Rights.
