Engineering Release 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 Engineering Release.

Content Type Category
  • Physical products
  • 3D shapes
  • Drawings
  • Documents
  • 3D parts
 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

The table below describes the level of access for administrative tasks.

Access Role Description
Administrator Performs all administrative tasks including the following:
  • Format enterprise item numbers
  • Create enterprise item number business rules
  • Configure documents
  • Enable carryover of alternate products for revisions

On premises only: if your company chose to use app-specific responsibilities instead of the baseline responsibilities, the following table shows how the responsibilities map to each other for design tasks.

Baseline Access Role App-specific Access Role Description
Author /Leader Product Release Engineer
  • Create products
  • Create duplicates, revisions
  • Apply effectivity definitions
  • Assign change actions to work
  • Add, remove, replace, child engineering objects
  • Add documents
  • Compare products and view related objects
  • Attach models and define effectivity
  • View product history

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.
