Introduction to project roles
Each project member has a unique role within the project. The person who creates a project is the default Project Administrator. Everyone in a project is a project member. The project role of a user determines the following:
- Level of access to project data
- Actions they can take on data
- Right to invite project members and change their roles
Project Roles
There are three project roles on BIM 360 Team: Project Administrator, Editor, and Viewer.
Project member roles are visible to all members of a project in the Project Members area. Project role can be specified at the time of inviting a user to a project. Only a Project Administrator can change the role of project members.
