3DSpace Access to Content

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is a collaborative environment for managing your business processes based on defined responsibilities and content lifecycles that provide secure access to content.

This page discusses:

Content Categories

Depending on your access role, you can create and manage the following types of content with 3DSpace.

Content Type Category
Collaborative Space Administrative Resource Management

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

Access Roles

3DSpace uses the 3DEXPERIENCE platform baseline access roles that your business administrator assigns to you. The table below describes the level of access for design tasks. The Public Reader and Reader access roles have to be enabled by a Platform Manager.

Access Role Description
Public Reader Has access to public content owned by a collaborative space and organization.
Reader Can read any content of collaborative spaces and organizations the user is assigned to.
Contributor Has read access to content.
Author Can create and edit content.
Leader Can create and edit content.

The table below describes the level of access for administrative tasks.

Access Role Description
Owner Can manage membership of the collaborative space.
Administrator Can create collaborative spaces for other users.

Restricted roles allow partners to access content owned by their company within a specific collaborative space. The table below describes the level of access for restricted roles for design tasks.

Access Role Description
Reader (Restricted) Has read access to any content owned by their organization.
Contributor (Restricted) For content owned by their organization, can perform the same actions as a Contributor.
Author (Restricted) For content owned by their organization, can perform the same actions as an Author.
Leader (Restricted) For content owned by their organization, can perform the same actions as a Leader.

The Owner (Restricted) access role can perform the same actions as an Owner for content owned by their organization, and can manage membership of users from their organization. The Owner (Restricted) access role cannot manage collaborative space properties.

The access roles provide hierarchical access. For the baseline access roles, Leader includes all access that an Author has (who has all access that a Reader has) plus additional specific accesses.

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.
