Unified Issues - Permissions Settings
On October 29, 2018, we let you know about our upcoming transition to BIM 360 Unified Issues, providing the ability to manage your design, work tracking, quality, and safety issues in a centralized project list.
In response to customer feedback, we provided a transition path from the existing Issue permissions in Docs to the new unified Issue permissions. As a result, permissions did not change immediately upon the release of unified issues on November 9, 2019. Document Management Project Admins have been able to continue using permissions for Issues just as they did prior to this release. Document Management users with the ability to view and create issues have continued to possess those rights. On January 11, 2019 (and several times since), we notified all project admins via email and via in-product messaging that the transitional period would end on February 28, 2019.
Since February 28 was a working day for all of our customers, we decided to actually apply the changes to the permission issue at a time that would minimize disruption to our customers. As a result, we are going to change the setting on Sunday, March 3, 2019.
What does this mean?
On March 3, the new Permissions settings will be applied to all BIM 360 projects. With the new permission settings, you'll be able to manage your issues by project member, company, and/or role.
IMPORTANT: Unless admins have adjusted the permissions to fit the new model, some Docs users may lose access to issues (until the admin adjusts the permissions). We have recently released improvements to support bulk editing of Issue permissions to help ease this transition. For more information, please refer to the documentation for working with Issue Permissions.
