Users and accounts¶
Everything in Bramble belongs to an Account, usually one per organisation. The Account's Users share its Programmes, Projects, geometry, configuration and results. Account admins control who can see and change what.
Settings¶
Settings exist at two levels, User and Account:
| Settings tab | Who can access it | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| User Settings | Every User | That User only |
| Account Settings | Account admins | The whole Account |
| User Management | Account admins | The whole Account |
User Settings¶
Personal settings that apply only to your own User.
Login and security. Reset your password and manage your two-factor authentication device. See activate your account.
Notifications. Turn on emails about your simulations' progress. Which Programmes and Projects you hear about depends on your subscriptions. See manage notifications.
Beta programme. Opt in to the Bramble Beta programme to get early access to experimental features.
Page settings. Customise individual pages, for example the postpro viewer hotkeys or table pagination, and show the File Exchange Area.
For every setting, see user settings.
Account Settings¶
Account-wide settings, managed by Account admins, that apply to every User on the Account.
Billing. Set the Account type (business or individual) and its operational and billing addresses. Bramble uses them to decide whether UK VAT applies to payments, and needs an address before the Account can be topped up.
Reviewing. Reviewing is always on for reports. Turn it on for annotated images and Results table comment columns too. You can then set, for each User, whether they can create and approve these items.
Access Control. Turn on Access Control to set each User's access to resources individually, including Programmes and Projects, Maps, Kinematic Setups, Template Cases, Parts and Assemblies. See set up Access Control.
For every setting, including the features enabled for the Account, see account settings.
User Management¶
Account admins manage the Account's Users here: inviting them, updating permissions and removing them.
View User information. See every User who can access the Account, with their email address and when they last accessed the Account.
Restricted Users. Mark a User as restricted to give them read-only access to the Account. Restricted Users can't open the Queues page, the Setup & CAD pages (Template Cases, Maps, Kinematic Setups, Assemblies, Parts and Postpro Settings) or the billing pages.
Permissions. Grant admin access, set reviewer permissions and Part download permission, and manage fine-grained Access Control. See roles and permissions.
Add and remove Users. Invite new Users by email address, and remove Users who no longer need access. See invite a User.
Credit and costs¶
Every User who isn't restricted can open the Account's billing pages from the user menu in the header. Which pages they see depends on the Account's billing type. The pages show the Account's balance or credits, and the core hours and cost of every charged simulation. On Accounts that pay by card, Account admins can top up the balance.
See credits and billing for when simulations are charged, the billing reference for the billing types and pages, and add credit to top up.
