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:

Depending on your access role, you can manage the following types of content with xMedia.

Content Type Category
Documents Definition
Published Media Experience 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.

Access Roles

To access xMedia, you need the app-specific Marketing Innovator role. xMedia also uses the 3DEXPERIENCE platform 3DSpace baseline access roles that your business administrator assigns to you. The following table describes the level of access for design tasks.

Access Role Description
Reader Can read and download documents and published media experiences.
Contributor Can read and download documents and published media experiences.
Author Can edit documents and published media experiences.
Leader Can edit documents and published media experiences.

Restricted roles allow partners to access content owned by their company within a specific collaborative space. The following table describes the level of access for restricted roles for design tasks.

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.

The access roles provide hierarchical access. For the baseline access roles, Leader includes all access that an Author has (who has all access that a Reader has) plus additional specific accesses. In the above table, an access role has all the accesses of the roles 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.
