xDesign 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:

If enabled by your administrator, this app creates a personal collaborative space the first time you use it. The app uses your user name in the collaborative space name, and gives you the Leader and Owner access roles. You can use 3DSpace or Bookmark Editor to access this collaborative space.

Content Categories

Depending on your responsibility, you can create and manage the following types of content with xDesign.

Content Type Category
xDesign Definition
The content that you can access and the tasks that you can perform depend on your responsibilities. For more information, see 3DEXPERIENCE Platform: Content Categories.

Responsibilities

xDesign 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 Has read access to any data, and can create and modify personal management category data.
Author Has access to all authoring commands.
Leader Has access to all authoring commands.
For the baseline responsibilities, the Leader responsibility includes all permissions that the Author responsibility has, plus additional specific permissions. The Author responsibility includes all permissions that the Reader responsibility 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.
