How To Enable Edit And Delete Permissions For Project Attachments

Why This Matters

Controlling who can access and change what in your system keeps your data safe and your team focused on their jobs. Setting up permissions correctly means everyone sees exactly what they need — nothing more, nothing less.

What You'll Need

  • Admin access to SubcontractorHub

  • A web browser (Chrome or Edge recommended)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

From the main menu, expand“Users & Roles” and click“User Profiles”.

Step 2

Locate the profile you want to update and click the “View Detail” icon.

Step 3

In the left-side menu, click“Projects”.

Step 4

Locate“Edit Attachments Upload Date” and toggle it on to allow users to edit attachment upload dates inside projects.

Step 5

Locate“Can Delete Attachment” and toggle it on to allow users to delete attachments from projects.

Real-World Example

💡 A project manager enables attachment editing for their install coordinators so they can update permit documents without asking an admin — speeding up the permitting process by days.
