Note that your permission to the shared model is removed when you detach the model from the sharing using one the following methods:
using the Exclude from sharing command
upgrading to the next Tekla Structures version
using the Save as command to save the model.
The four different user roles in Tekla Model Sharing are Owner , Editor , Project viewer and Viewer.
