Set up Access Control¶

Access Control lets Account admins choose which Programmes, Projects, Maps, Kinematic Setups, Template Cases and Libraries each User can see. It works on a zero-access default: Users see only what you grant them.

Before you start

You must be an Account admin.
Plan what each User needs before you turn it on, so you can grant access straight away.

Users lose access as soon as you turn it on

Once Access Control is on, every User who isn't an admin has no access to any data on the Account until you grant it. The only exception is Users whose access was set before Access Control was last turned off: Bramble restores their previous access. Admins aren't affected, and always see everything.

Turn on Access Control¶

Click Settings (the cog in the header), then the Account Settings tab.
In the Access Control section, click Enable Access Control.
Read the warning, then click the red Enable Access Control button.

The Access Control tag appears in Account Details, and an Access Control column appears on the User Management tab.

Grant access to a User¶

Go to the User Management tab.
On the User's row, click manage in the Access Control column. It's disabled for admins and for yourself.

In User Access Control, choose what the User can see in each area:

Area	Covers
Project Access	Programmes and their Projects
Map Access	Maps
Kinematic Setup Access	Kinematic Setups
Template Case Access	Template Cases
Assembly Library Access	Assembly Libraries
Part Library Access	Part Libraries

Each area lists Programmes at the top, with their items underneath. Use the filter to find items, and Expand all or Collapse all to open the trees.

In each area, tick any combination of:

Tick	The User gets
Full Access	Everything in the area, including items created later
A Programme	Everything in that Programme, including items created in it later
Individual items	Only those items

Click Update. Bramble shows "User access rights have been successfully updated."

A User always gets access to anything they create themselves. A User sees a Programme if they can access anything in it.

Copy another User's access¶

To give a User the same access as someone else, click Copy from in User Access Control and choose the other User. Their access replaces the current selection. Adjust it if needed, then click Update.

Turn off Access Control¶

On the Account Settings tab, click Disable Access Control.
Click Disable Access Control in the dialog.

Every User gets access to all data on the Account again. Bramble keeps each User's access settings, and restores them if you turn Access Control back on.
