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 Traceable Requirements Management, Requirements Structure Editor, and Requirements Specification Editor.

Content Type Category

Chapter

Comment

Requirement

Requirement Group (specification folder)

Requirement Specification

Use Case

Definition

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

Traceable Requirements Management also uses content types from Product Line Management.

Access Roles

Traceable Requirements Management, Requirements Structure Editor, and Requirements Specification Editor use the 3DEXPERIENCE platform 3DSpace baseline access roles that your business administrator assigns to you. The table below describes the level of access for each role.

Access Role Description
Public Reader Views and connects to/from requirements, specifications, specifications folders, chapters, comments, and use cases.
Contributor The Contributor has the same access right as a Public Reader.
Author Creates, modifies, and deletes requirements, specifications, specifications folders, chapters, comments, and use cases in all states except "Frozen" and "Obsolete".
Leader Modifies requirements, specifications, specifications folders, chapters, comments, and use cases in the "Frozen" state without demoting to "In Work".

On premises only: if your company chose to use app-specific responsibilities instead of the baseline responsibilities, the following table shows how the responsibilities map to each other for design tasks.

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.

For more information, see 3DEXPERIENCE Platform: Responsibilities.

Traceable Requirements Management also uses access roles from Product Line Management.
