Managing Allplan users and their access rights

How to manage the access rights of Allplan users for drawing files and plans

• The workgroup manager is licensed and selected (see "Select Workgroup Manager")
• You have administrator rights for the Allplan workgroup.

1. Click Open on a Project-Specific Basis (How).
   

   Activate / Open on a Project-Specific Basis... in one of the following ways:

   • Menu bar: File

   • Keyboard: Alt+O

   • Title bar: Allplan icon
   • Title bar: Quick Access Toolbar

   • Shortcut menu: Hovering over the empty workspace Right mouse button

   The Open on a Project-Specific Basis dialog box: Open drawing files or Open on a Project-Specific Basis: Layouts are shown (when opening the Layout Editor task).

2. Drawing files only:
   Select the Building structure tab.
3. Select the drawing files or plans for which identical rights should be issued.
4. Right-click the selected elements and when in the shortcut menu, go to Write permissions.

   The User write permissions dialog box is shown.

   Note: This option is only available for drawing files or plans, not for entire structure nodes.

5. Select the check box for the users who should receive write permissions, or untick the check boxes for users who should only have read permissions.

   Or:

   Right-click in the table, then in the shortcut menu go to Select users from group to take on the user permissions for all users in a project from one of the predefined user permission groups (see "Allplan Assign a user to a user permission group"). The previous selection is then overwritten.

   Or:

   Right-click in the table, then in the shortcut menu go to Add Users From Group to add the user permissions for all users for the as yet not selected users from one of the predefined user permission groups (see "Allplan Assign a user to a user permission group"). The previous selection is kept.

6. Click OK to confirm.
