People and Organizations

Whenever possible, use the platform tools such as the Members Control Center to define the people required for your company. Only use Collaboration and Approvals or the Manage P&O and Content pages when absolutely necessary.

Most set up features are only available to an Administrator, Organization Manager or Company Representative, although any user can edit their own personal properties.

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is hosted by a specific company, and that company can define organizations to match its own organizational structure. In addition, the host organization can define external organizations, such as supplier companies, so they can work collaboratively with you.

You are an employee of your company, and you can work in a department of a business unit of that company. When an Administrator adds you to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, you are added as an employee of one of the companies, and you can also be added as a member of another organization (such as a business unit or department).

The system stores all users, organizations, roles, and collaborative spaces in the same location. Names must be unique in that location. As such, you cannot use the same name for different types of these objects. For example, you cannot use an existing user name as a collaborative space name.
