Manage Access for Drawing Packages Security Now Tied to “Edit” Privilege

Why is it Useful?

CMiC has enhanced the security for managing access to drawing packages. The security for managing access to drawing packages is now linked to the Edit privilege within project roles.

NOTE: This feature is being released in Patch 20 under CF-15098.

How Does it Work?

Project Roles; standard Treeview path: CMiC Field > Security > Project Roles

Previously, this privilege was controlled by the 'Admin' checkbox (i.e., Admin = Y) on the CMiC Field - Security Roles screen. This change has been reverted and the security for managing access is now tied to the Edit privilege for the Drawing Management document types in the CMiC Field - Project Roles screen. Once the user has the required privilege, they can edit any package in the project.

Open any drawing package. Click on the drawing package's Menu icon () and select "Manage Access" in the drop-down menu.

Pop-up window launched from Manage Access option in the drop-down menu of the Drawing Package screen

Use the Manage Access pop-up window to assign security by project role and/or project contacts.

Renaming packages is also tied to the Edit privilege as well.

For more information about using the Document Package feature, refer to CMiC Field - Document Packages.
