Users can be added to individual projects with different access roles including some configuration options for view and edit access of a project.

Roles can be separated into two types of users:

  • Project Roles (individual project acccess for speficic users) - see below

  • Company Roles (management access on dashboard level)

Project Roles are unique to a job or project, while Company Roles (Enterprise Admin, Group Manager, Project Manager as well as Enterprise Viewer) are used across the service. Users who get assigned with a project role need to be invited to a HoloBuilder project in order to get access to this specific project. They do not have any further permissions on the company dashboard or any other projects and cannot create any projects of their own.

Project Roles (Project Members)

  • Project Admin (PA)

  • Project Editor (PE)

  • Project Viewer (PV)

The image below depicts a visual representation of the overall permission settings hierarchy within HoloBuilder (including the Company Roles).
