Process Composer 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 Process Composer:

Content Type Category
Simulation (Simulation Process) Evaluation
Simulation ActivityEvaluation
Simulation Attribute GroupDefinition
Simulation AttributeResource*
Simulation CategoryEvaluation
Simulation ConnectorDefinition
Simulation DocumentEvaluation
Simulation FolderEvaluation
Simulation JobEvaluation
Simulation Template (Simulation Experience)Definition
Analytics Case (Decision Case)Evaluation
ApproximationEvaluation
Note: Simulation Attribute is not a business type. However, the management of attributes when used with attribute groups is considered Resource data for access purposes.

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

Access Roles

Process Composer uses app-specific roles, instead of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform 3DSpace baseline roles. If you know your baseline role, use the table below to map it to your app-specific access role.

Baseline Access Role Description
Reader

Can access simulation content only in the Frozen, Released, or Obsolete state.
Contributor

Uses predefined objects, such as experiences, attribute groups, and connectors, to create and run simulation processes and simulation activities.

Can also do the following:

  • Modify connector options.
  • Create download, upload, and delete rules.
  • Add an attribute group to simulation processes and simulation activities.
  • Define the parameters and attributes of a simulation process.
  • Copy references or documents with content.
  • Create documents or links to documents.
  • Put common content into documents.
  • Specify the download, upload, and delete rules for documents.
  • Run simulation processes and activities.
  • Create revisions.
  • Perform PLM collaborative tasks, such as initiating a review.
Author Creates and configures simulation processes and simulation activities that can be used as experiences by the simulation analyst. Also creates the following:
  • Connectors that a simulation activity uses to run simulation applications and define the arguments and options that will be available to the simulation analyst.
  • Simulation experiences

Can do the following:

  • Create an attribute group and delete an attribute group that the Author owns.
  • Add and remove attributes from the attribute group.
  • Modify the properties of an attribute in the attribute group.

A person with the role of Author cannot create attributes.
Leader

Reviews simulation objects in the review lifecycle state and determines if they can be promoted to the next lifecycle state.

Can do the following:

  • Create, modify, and delete an attribute group.
  • Create, modify, and delete an attribute.
Owner Provides other users access to simulation objects to which the Owner already has access.

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. For more information, see Restricted Responsibilities.

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.

Your business administrator can change the default accesses to commands, content, and collaborative spaces. Companies can also implement customized roles and accesses. This guide describes the default behavior when describing access to content or commands.
