Access privileges

Use access privileges to control which data is accessible to users. Based on their access privileges, users can see, comment, create/edit, delete, or version models and objects.

To view, comment, edit, delete, and version database content, users need access privileges to the related database groups. To save time, you can grant access to user groups so that all members have access to the selected database groups. You can also grant access to individual users. Users that have the Database administrator function privilege automatically have access to all the databases of a tenant. You cannot change privileges of database administrators or tenant-wide system users.
