1. Creating a Custom User Role
To limit access for specific users or user roles in the renderer:
Navigate to Organization Settings.
Select User Roles.
Click Add Role to create a new role.
You can base the new role on an existing template, such as the default View Role, which defines the access permissions available in the viewer.
Creating Roles is better described in the other videos about Roles.
2. Restricting Widgets
Once the role is created, you can customize its permissions:
Remove widgets
The interface will display all available widgets and access options.
To disable specific widgets, simply uncheck them.
Example: Disable access to Groups or Bookmarks.
This controls what the user can see or interact with in the model viewer.
3. Restricting Folders/Files
To restricting access to specific folders/files, you first need to remove access to view the scene, and then add back specific folders that the user will have access to.
Remove access to scene
When creating the role, you can deselect View Scene.
This ensures the role cannot access scenes by default.
Add access to specific folders
Go to PROJECTS:
Navigate to the folder.
Click the three dots next to the folder.
Select View Access.
In the View Access dialog:
You'll see an overview of all roles and their permissions.
To allow the role to view a specific folder:
Double-click in the View Scene column.
Assign the role to this folder.
Result: The role now has access to the this specific folder (and all its subfolders/files) — but no access to the rest of the scene.
Summary
This feature provides granular access control by allowing:
Creation of custom roles based on templates.
Widget-level permissions in the scene viewer.
Folder/file-level access control.
It helps tailor user experience and maintain information security across different user roles in the renderer platform.
