Access groups govern user access to Smart Construction commands and navigation and are modeled to represent different levels of functional access. For example, access groups can be used to configure security for reports, models, drawings, filters, selection rules, attached files on IWPs, and specific toolbar buttons in Smart Construction.
To grant user permissions to access a specific command or function, associate that user's roles to the appropriate access group.
The following access groups and roles are delivered in Smart Construction.
