About Roles in User Design Groups

Account Admins use the Add Users to Groups panel to assign a Role to each member of a design group. Roles determine which of the basic model-sharing operations a member can perform.

• You can be in multiple design groups at the same time, in the same or a different role in each group.
• Admins can change your role among Publisher, Author, or Reader at any time.
• Admins can assign you the Admin role from the Set up Account Admins panel.
