Read Only Users (ROU)

Updated over a year ago

In case you haven't heard, Backbone has the option to add Read-Only Users 📚

This role doesn't get all the same sweet benefits as a full fledged user, however you can still view and export in many areas of Backbone!

In order to change or add any ROU to your contract please contact the account management team. Once you have the green light 🟢 Just go into the Admin Section with an Admin Level user and you can switch the user role to Read-Only.

Things ROU can do:

For example Read-Only Users can view:

Read-Only Users can export/download:

  • Line Sheets

  • Component Utilization Reports

  • Product Size Specs

  • Product Files

  • Product BoMs

  • Item View Reports

Read-Only Users can also create:

  • Line Sheets

  • Component Utilization Reports

  • Item View Reports

Things ROU can not do:

  • Cannot Create, Edit, or Upload Images for Products / Components

  • Cannot Create Tech Packs

  • Cannot Create Component Variants

  • Cannot Create, Edit, or Upload Images for Palettes / Swatches

  • Cannot Use the Blocks Module

  • Cannot Use the PoM Library

  • Cannot Use the Shared Folders Module

  • Cannot Use the BoM Template Library

  • Cannot Edit Line Sheets they are shared on

  • Cannot Edit Item Views they are shared on

Regardless of all the things ROU are unable to do, we believe you'll still find this to be a powerful feature.
