When sharing a project, you can choose the level of allowed permissions.

The hierarchy of permissions allows detailed governance for data within your workspace. Have fine-tuned control over who can see and do what.

There are four permission levels for projects:

  • Admin

  • Edit

  • View

  • Guest

Members of Teams and Enterprise accounts cannot see projects created by other members until those projects are shared with them! Remember to share projects with anyone who needs access.

Admin

Project Admins have the most allowable actions. They can do anything with projects.

The original creator of the project is the project admin by default

  • Can create and edit content in the project

  • Can edit workspace property values on the project

  • Can Invite others to see the project

  • Can change other’s permissions on the project

  • Can delete the project

Edit

Project editors can add and edit in-project content, but cannot change project metadata or share.

  • Can create and edit content within the project

  • Cannot share, change permissions, or delete the project

View

Project viewers can open a project as a view-only state.

  • Can open projects, but can only view the project model, layers, and data

  • Cannot create or edit any content

  • Cannot share, change permissions, or delete the project

Guest

Project guests can view project metadata in a Space.

  • Can only see a subset of project data from a Space

  • Cannot open projects to see model geometry or spatial layers

Guest access is an add-on for enterprise accounts. Reach out to sales to inquire about upgrading.


Note: Enterprise account Workspace Administrator rights override project permission levels. Workspace administrators are always able to see, edit, share, and delete any projects in the workspace (when in audit mode).
