Authorizing Shared Space users and guests to view uploaded models

Originally, you grant view rights to a model while you are preparing it for uploading to Shared Space. Here you can alter the viewing rights. You can:

• Switch the view availablility of the model from Public (viewable by all users) to Private (viewable by selected users, registered or not) or the other way around.
• Authorize new users, who need to be able to view the model after it was uploaded.
• Revoke the view rights of users or guests.

Managing view rights

1. To begin managing the access rights, click the Access Control icon or .

The Access Control dialog box appears.

3D Model URL	The URL of the model, which you can send to other Shared Space users and/or external partners.
Visibility Options	Two options of who can see the model: Public: Both registered and non-registered Shared Space users can see the model. Private: Only authorized users and/or guests who register after your invitation can see the model. NOTE: The default state is the one you set in EngView before uploading the model to Shared Space.
Close	Closes the dialog box without saving any changes you have made in it while it was open.
Save	Closes the dialog box adopting the changes you have made in it while it was open.

2. To grant viewing authorization to all users across Shared Space as well as guests, click Public, and then click Save.
3. To grant viewing authorization to specific users, click Private.

Give Access To

In the field, type or paste the email account of the user to whom you want to give view rights. Repeat this step for each new user you want to authorize, and then click Save.

Users With Access

Lists the users who currently have authorization to view the model. You see icons in front of the email accounts of the users authorized to view the model. These icons are: Registered. The user has a Shared Space registration. Invited. An email has been sent to the user. They do not have a Shared Space registration and have thus become Invited. Unknown. The user does not have an SS registration. The question mark icon appears before you click Save as a visual notification about the fact. Afterward, it changes to Invited. Read. This icon appears at the tail end of the user's account name. It tells you that the user has already seen the model.

4. Click Access Requests to check whether there are new requests for viewing the model. Use the emails they have provided to grant them view rights.

NOTE: This tab lists users who have requested access to a 3D model that is set to Private Access. These are users who:

• Have received the model's URL from a third person and are not listed in the private list of the model.
• The model's access status has been changed to Private from Public. In this case, all the users that have this URL and attempt to open it will see the following message:

In this case, they will need to request access. Once the request is sent, they will appear in the Access Requests list.
