User Groups

Optional advanced permissions​

In CausewayOne, users are assigned Asset Strategy roles based on the modules they require access to. For more granular control, you can extend these standard permissions with User Groups. To enable this feature for your company project, please contact Causeway Support.

Once enabled, administrators can define any number of User Groups, which apply more precise permissions on top of user roles. This enables access control for individual features and data objects, such as:

  • Features - data import, editing, renaming and other feature-specific actions.

  • Objects - Layers, Layer Folders, Reports, Treatment Sets, Works Plans and data sources.

Any objects created by a user are private by default, visible only to the owner and administrators. The owner can edit, delete, and run Works Plans on private objects, then share them with a User Group when ready. Group members can share objects further with other groups they belong to, though objects can be returned to private ownership at any time.
