Manage user permissions
When administrators create a new Tekla EPM user, the user does not have any permissions in the Tekla EPM. This means that they cannot access, view, or modify any information in any module in Tekla EPM. Administrators can manage the user permissions in their company either separately for each user, or by creating user roles and assigning them to users. To modify the permissions of an individual user, do the following:
- Click the File ribbon tab in the upper-left corner of the Tekla EPM window.
- On the File menu, select Administration.
- On the Tekla EPM Users tab of the Administration dialog box, select the user whose permissions you want to modify.
-
Click Edit
Permissions.
Note that if the user has been assigned a role, their permissions cannot be modified individually, so the Edit Permissions button is inactive.
-
At the top of the User
Permissions dialog box, select the Allow Tekla EPM Login check box.
When logging in to Tekla EPM has been allowed for the user, you can modify the other permissions.
The User Permissions dialog box has multiple tabs that represent the different modules and features of Tekla EPM. This way, the user permissions can be set separately for each module.
The tabs are divided into sections that represent different parts of the module or feature. This allows you to give the user permissions to only perform particular actions related to the module.
All sections contain check boxes that determine what the user can do in that part of the module. The available check boxes are:-
Select: When selected, allows the user to select and filter information, such as material items.
-
Insert: When selected, allows the user to add new information.
-
Update: When selected, allows the user to modify existing information.
-
Delete: When selected, allows the user to delete information.
For example, to allow the user to select items and add items in a combining job, select the Select and Insert check boxes in the Combining Items section of the Combining tab. If only the Select and Insert check boxes were selected, the user could not modify or delete combining items, so the Edit and Delete buttons would not be available.
