Responsibilities

Connector for SOLIDWORKS uses the 3DEXPERIENCE platform 3DSpace baseline responsibilities that your business administrator assigns to you.

The following table describes the permissions for design task responsibilities.

Access Role Description
Reader Reader has read access to any content, and can create and modify Personal Management category content.
Contributor Has the same right as a Reader on Connector for SOLIDWORKS data.
Author Produces definition data, create or modify product data. This role also has the SOLIDWORKS Integration User role.
Leader Rights to change maturity, creating new revision, and creating templates.
Administrator Global administration management. This is an administrative role.
Public Reader Access to public content
Note: Connector for SOLIDWORKS implements the Leader role. The availability of other roles depends on the customer's configuration.

The responsibilities provide hierarchical access. For example, the Leader baseline responsibility includes all permissions that an Author has, plus additional specific permissions. The Author responsibility, in turn, includes all permissions that a Reader has, plus additional specific permissions. In the previous table, a responsibility has all the permissions of the responsibilities that appear above it.

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.
