Assign permissions to Construction Cloud project folders

00:03

Folder permissions can be used to control access to files and actions on the files in the Construction Cloud.

00:10

After logging into your Construction Cloud account and navigating to a project,

00:15

expand the Product Picker and from the drop-down, select Docs.

00:20

This opens the Files page.

00:23

Once members are invited to a project, you must assign them permission to the project folders and files.

00:29

From the Folders tab, adjacent to Project Files, click More—the three dots.

00:36

From the flyout, click Permissions settings.

00:40

This opens the Permissions panel.

00:43

Here, you can review the details of already existing permissions applied to the selected folder,

00:49

including a list of the members who have permissions to it.

00:52

You can also review how many companies or roles are assigned permissions to the folder.

00:57

To assign permissions to other members, click Add.

01:02

From the Add dialog, type in the company name or individual email addresses for whom you want to assign permissions.

01:09

Next, expand the Permissions drop-down.

01:13

Select the appropriate level of permissions for the company or individuals.

01:18

To help you determine which ones you need, you can find the details for the various levels of permissions

01:23

in the Civil 3D Help under Folder Permissions.

01:27

Click Add.

01:29

The dialog closes.

01:31

Back in the Permissions panel, notice that the list updates with the newly assigned permissions.

01:37

If you assign permissions at a company level, you can expand the company to view the members included in the company.

01:43

In this example, the subfolders automatically inherit the permission level of the parent folder,

01:49

but realize that those permissions can be changed later.

01:52

If they are changed, the subfolder permissions must either match or have a greater permission level than that of the parent folder.
