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:
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.
