Permission groups manage the read and write access to all objects across the host and satellite locations. At the host, you can create/modify permission groups for the satellite locations to have read or read/write access to various parts of the model data. In general, only one location can have read/write access to the model object at a time.

  • Smart 3D system objects are exceptions to the rule that only one location can have write access to model objects. Users with write access to the permission group of a system can add children objects to it regardless of the location of the permission group. However, properties of the system object can only be modified by a user who has both write access and is at the same location as the system.

  • The Drawings and Reports root node ignores location when determining accessibility. Users with write access to the permission group of Drawings and Reports root node can add children objects regardless of the location of the permission group.

  • The space folders created on the Space tab of the Workspace Explorer when you first enter the Drawings and Reports task ignore location when determining accessibility. Users with write access to the permission group of the space folders can add child objects regardless of the location of the permission group. Children to these space folders are added when adding certain nodes in the Drawings and Reports task or when adding drawing volumes to the model.

When a permission group is created in a model participating in a Global Workshare Configuration (GWC), it is assigned a location. For a user working at Location1, only the permission groups that were assigned to Location1 upon its creation are available. As the user places objects in the model, they are, in turn, associated to a Location1 permission group. You can, however, use the Project Management task to change ownership of a permission group from one location to another. Also, a user in any location can transfer a selection set to a permission group in another location using the Transfer command on the Configuration tab of the Properties dialog box.
