Permissions

To use Connector for SOLIDWORKS, the administrator must assign you to an organization, collaborative space, and role. These credentials control your access to the content on the server and the operations you can perform on files and folders.

The administrator may assign you additional permissions. For example, your administrator may assign you the role as Owner, and Author to two collaborative spaces. Your Author role may give you access to some models in one collaborative space but not another. Likewise, your Owner role may give you access to more files than your Author role in both collaborative spaces.

To determine if an user can access an object, the system matches each user's credential to the credential for the object.

In addition, the administrator can assign a credential to a policy that is associated with an object to determine who has access to the object in specific life cycle states.
