Control File Manager Access using Permission Groups

How to use permission groups to easily manage a users read/write and edit access in File Manager and Design Deliverables folders. 

Step 1: Create a Project

Full instructions for creating a project can be found in this Help Video. 

To Set up the File Naming Convention, navigate to the "Information Management Settings" page under the Document Management nav area.  


Step 2: Create a Permission Group for Each Access Level

At the beginning of a project, it is recommended to create some permission groups that specifically relate to the document access needed by a group in File Manager and design Deliverables. It is recommended to have these groups contain the "General User" setting for File Manager and Design deliverables. 

For Example: 

  • "Design Team" 
  • "Contractor Submitters" 
  • "Information Managers"
  • "Record Viewers"

For more detail on how to create a permission group - check out this Help Video

 

Step 3: Create the File Manager & Design Deliverables Folders required for the Project

For full instructions to create a File Manager folder, check out this Help Article.  


Step 4: For each role on the folder (Submitter/Viewer/Information Manager) add the relevant permission groups

When adding users to the roles in a folder, click on the "groups" tab to see a list of permission groups on the project. 

Drop in the relevant permission group for each role in the folder. 


Step 5: When adding new users, add them to the appropriate permission group to give them the access they need. 

Each time you add a new user to the project, ensure they are included in the correct permission group.
