The content you can access and the tasks you can perform depend on your responsibilities. For more information, see 3DEXPERIENCE Platform: Content Categories.

Responsibilities

xDirect Design uses the 3DEXPERIENCE platform 3DSpace baseline responsibilities that your business administrator assigns to you.

The following table describes the permissions for design task responsibilities.

Responsibility Permissions
Reader Has read access to any data, and can create and modify personal management category data.
Author Has access to all authoring commands.
Leader Has access to all authoring commands.

Your business administrator can configure rules that change the default access behavior.

On premises only: Your business administrator can change the default responsibilities that control your access to commands, content, and collaborative spaces. Companies can also implement additional customized responsibilities.

This guide describes the default behavior when describing access to content or commands.

Your access to content or commands is determined by more than your responsibility. The current collaborative space, your organization, the current lifecycle state of the content, the app you are using, and other customizations all affect whether you can access content or commands. You might have access to some content or commands only under certain conditions.
