Permissions are managed using groups. Instead of assigning permissions to individual users, the users are added to a group, then permissions are granted to the group. The level of permission granted will depend on the assigned roles within that group.
Groups
NavVis IVION’s group system is hierarchical. A group can have multiple subgroups, which in turn can have subgroups, and so on.
Users can be assigned to multiple groups. They have to be added manually to each group and/or subgroup.
NavVis IVION has a default list of groups, which you can edit via User Management > Groups.
Each group has a name and a set of permissions applied to it. The permissions control what kind of content members of the group can create, view, and publish. You can edit the permissions of a group via User Management > Groups.
As the name implies, if a user is in the Editor group, this means they have edit permissions, if a user is in the Viewer group this means they only have permission to view.
Users can only see groups they are a member of.

Additional Permissions
After an instance is created, a Global Admin or Site Admin can make changes to the groups by assigning or removing permissions:
Permission title | Everyone | Global Admin | Site Admin | Editor | Viewer |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Global Admin
Global admins have access to all sites, site content, and functions in an instance.
By default, every instance has a global admin account. The first user to log in automatically becomes a global admin.
Members of the global admin group can add more users to this group.
Site Admin
Site admins have full access to their sites' content. A user can be a site admin of multiple sites.
Everyone
All users added to are automatically part of the Everyone group. This applies to Registered users with individual sign-in credentials as well as Guest Users, who do not have their own sign-in credentials.
Everyone users (these are users that are not part of any group) will only be able to see public sites (they cannot access private sites). In reverse that means that Everyone users will be able to access all public sites.
The Everyone user group can be edited by selecting the General tab in the site drop-down menu on the Groups page, here you can also adjust the permissions the Everyone Group has.
Guest Users
Users that are added to , are not automatically added to a group apart from the Everyone group. They are considered guest users and their permissions are limited to viewing, navigating, and searching within . By default, these users do not have creation or editing permissions. To give users additional permissions, add them to an existing group or create a new group with the appropriate permissions.
Note: Users that are not added to a group will not count against applicable user licenses. However, users will count against applicable user licenses once they become part of a group.
Data Processing Rights
Users with Data Processing rights will be permitted to perform the following actions:
Upload unprocessed data
Launch processing tasks
Work with processed data
Note: Users can access the add to dataset management button and copy data to NavVis IVION even if they do not have permission to access the dataset management page.
