Renaming Roles on Docs

m-de-lange — Mon, 31 Aug 2020 07:47:12 GMT

Is it possible to rename Roles on BIM360 Docs?

We've made a little bit of a mess with capitalized and uncapitalized roles, underscores and what not.

I can't make new roles of the same name with capitalization unfortunately. it'll recognize that it already exists, uncapitalized.

Do I really have to remove the role to make it anew and reassign it to the specific user?

You will need to remove and then add again. There is no rename feature.

Sadly after removing the role, it still wants to add the new one uncapitalized.

Any fix for this?

Really? No rename? Such a basic feature.

Managing Docs is really inefficient:

Roles can't be renamed
Folder permissions have to be set folder by folder, and no matrix or overview table is available to quickly verify permission
...

Can everyone please upvote these 2 ideas?

To use the wording that is used in these 2 ideas: not being able to rename roles "is a nightmare".
