Folder permissions in BIM 360

I know this is a BIM 360 post, but the support in the BIM 360 forum is pretty delayed, and I have a urgent concern...

 

This link says that those with "folder control" can "add members" and "add permissions".

So my understanding of that is "folder controllers" can "add members", that are pre-existing in the project, to the folder that they have control of.
They CANNOT add members to the project team.

 

"Folder controllers" can "add FOLDER permissions" or take away FOLDER permissions from those that have been added to that folder that they have control of.

They CANNOT add/update "project member permissions".

 

Do I have that correct?

Not entirely ...somewhat correct. It all depends on the authority matrix and the assigned roles/permissions. So can Team Members add other members to the folder/project?  Yes if they have been given the necessary privileges to do so...

 

Below is a brief summary of the authority matrix / organizational hierarchy of a typical Account:

 

  1. Account Admin can assign/delegate Account Administration role to other members 
  2. Project Admin (assigned by the Account Admins) can also assign/delegate Project Administration role to Team Members - those are also known as Team Admins or Folder/Project Controllers (ie: they are basically Project Admins with limited liability)
  3. Team Admins are Team Members who are granted project/folder control permission. They can carry out tasks within that folder that are usually restricted to the project administrator. This includes:
    • creating title blocks,
    • adding project members,
    • managing permissions,
    • editing set assignment.  
  4. Team Members - the access of a team member is usually limited to the below, unless granted extra privileges'/permissions by the above they commissioners
    • View only
    • View + Download
    • Upload only (those do not see the folder contents)
    • View + Download + Upload
    • View + Download + Upload + Edit

  • managing permissions, 
    • Can you expound on this? The article says "ADD permissions", not "MANAGE permission". But I'm assuming "adding" permission, would include taking away permissions, i.e. "manage". Could you explain the "adding permissions part? Can they make someone a PROJECT admin, or can they only give a user folder control or make them a "TEAM admin"?

  1. Yes from those team members which have been already added to the directory
  2.  To Add and Delete = to Edit = Manage permissions lol...I am not sure how I can elaborate on that. It is a hierarchal structure. Team Admins or Folder Controllers are Project Admins with limited access defined by the Project Admin or Account Admin who assigned them - Can they delegate their permission? Yes as Folder Controllers. (Team Admin and Folder Controller are two definitions for 1 role)

Best is to try it out mate internally if you have doubts. Assuming you are the account admin or Project admin...invite someone from your company and give him/her Folder control and fiddle with the settings lol you know they say if in doubt poke it with a stick
