Revit Server Administrative Tasks

Revit Server administrative tasks must be performed by an administrator or BIM manager using the Revit Server Administrator.

Note: You can provide team members with access privileges to the Revit Server Administrator using Windows IIS 7. See Setting Up Administration Permissions.

Note that while working with server-based workshared projects, team members cannot perform the following operations from within Revit:

• Create, delete, move, overwrite, or rename models and folders on a Revit Server with the Open or Save As dialogs.
• Delete, rename or move the central models on a Revit Server. The Delete and Create New commands are not available when the Revit Server folder is selected in the Open or Save As dialogs.
• Create folders on a Revit Server. The administrator or BIM manager can do this using the Revit Server Administrator.
• Move or copy models between Revit Server Hosts using the Revit Server Administrator.
• Roll back to a previous version of a central model.
• Browse to a different central model path while synchronizing with the central model.
• Use Worksharing Monitor. Note that the Revit Server Administrator displays server, folder, and model submission history and other data.
• Store non-workshared models on a Revit Server.
• Directly access central files from the Application menu’s Recent Documents list or in the Recent Files window.
• Set the Maximum History value for log files.
