Organizer Access Control

Overview

With the Organizer access control feature, permissions can now added to Organizer groups which will allow you to define which user groups can see or edit individual Organizer groups. 

The new access control permissions model replaces the previous model where all users were able to see all organizer groups and the right to edit was based on the company association.

Access control settings are applied to Connect User Groups. Please note, defining the project groups can only be done by a Project Admin. 

Who can define access control

You can choose from three different access levels

Learn more about these levels in Defining Access Control.

How to Apply Access Control

Access control can be applied to Organizer groups in two ways—through the Access Control Manager page or through the Access Control Dialog.

If you want to define access control policies for multiple groups, you can open the Access Control Manager page.  From this page, you will see all the Organizer groups in the project.  If you want to define an access control policy for a single Organizer group, you can open the Access Control Dialog directly in the 3D Viewer. 

Note: For project users - you will only be able to define access control for the Organizer groups that you have created.

To open the Access Control Manager

The Access Control Manager will open in a new tab.

Updating the Permission Model

New groups will automatically use the new permissions model.
