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:

N. Permission Level Create Employer Edit Employer Create Project Edit Project Assign Owner Assign Author Assign Collaborator Create/Edit EIR Comment on EIR Add/Edit User Info Resource
1 Role Access ! ! ! ! ! View
2 Create Projects ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Edit
3 Manage Employers ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Edit
4 Admin User ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Edit

(!) 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.
