Updating project access
Last updated: 23 December 2025 16:29 BSTProjects are designed for collaboration. If you want to share a project with another VU.CITY user, you can invite them to join your project and specify their project role, determining their access level. Project admins and editors have the capability to manage and adjust access levels for all project members.
- Navigate to the members section
From your project dashboard, click on the "Members" tab on the left sidebar. This will display the current list of members in the project. - View current members
In the Members section, you will see a list of all the members in the current project, along with their roles (Admin, Editor, Viewer), status, and other details. - Update member roles
To update the access level of a member, locate the member whose role you wish to change. Then click on the dropdown menu under the "Role" column next to the member’s name. This dropdown allows you to select the new role for the member (Admin, Editor, or Viewer). - Add new members
If you need to invite new members to the project, click on the "Add new members" button at the top right corner of the Members section. - Enter the email addresses of the new members, assign their roles, and send the invitation.
- Save changes
After updating the roles, the changes are saved automatically. Ensure that the roles are assigned correctly to reflect the desired access levels.
Roles in VU.CITY projects
Within a project, each member is assigned a project role to determine what they can and can’t do. A member’s project role can be set and updated by a Project Admin. There can be multiple project admins on a single project, but there must always be at least one.
Admin
An Admin has full administration rights over the project. This includes:
- Managing project members: Admins can add, remove, and manage the permissions of project participants.
- Setting project information: Admins can update the project’s details, such as its name, description, and location.
- Managing the primary file: Admins have control over the main files used within the project, ensuring the correct versions are being used and updated.
Editor
An Editor has the ability to:
- Invite editors and viewers: Editors can add new members to the project, including other editors and viewers.
- Launch 3D applications: Editors can open and work with the 3D tools provided by VU.CITY.
- Make changes to the primary file: Editors can modify the main project files, allowing them to update and refine project details as necessary.
Viewer
A Viewer’s capabilities are limited to:
- Reading project information: Viewers can access and read all the project details, ensuring they are informed about the project’s status and updates.
- Viewing and commenting on project drive assets: Viewers can see all the files and documents stored in the project’s shared drive and provide feedback or comments on them.
These roles ensure that everyone involved in the project has the appropriate level of access and capabilities, facilitating effective collaboration and project management.
