Connected Software 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 assigned responsibilities, you can create and manage the following types of content with Connected Software.

Content Type Category
Software Logical Item Definition
Physical Product Definition
Connector Resource

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

Responsibilities

Connected Software uses the 3DEXPERIENCE platform 3DSpace baseline responsibilities that your business administrator assigns to you.

The following table describes the permissions for design task responsibilities.

Responsibility Permissions
Public Reader Can view all software information such as software items, connectors, software maturity, and software item version information.
Reader Can view all software information such as software items, connectors, software maturity, and software item version information.
Author Can create and modify software information such as software items, software maturity, software item versions, and software item branches. Can view the connectors.
Leader Can create, edit, and modify connectors and create and modify software information such as software items, software maturity, software item versions, and software item branches.

The following table describes the permissions for administrative task responsibilities.

Responsibility Permissions
Owner Can create, modify, and delete connectors, and software information such as software items, software item versions, and software item branches.
Administrator Can create, modify, and delete connectors. Can modify and delete software information such as software items, software item versions, and software item branches.

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

Responsibility Permissions
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) responsibility can perform the same actions as the Owner responsibility for content owned by their organization.

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.
