Change permission of a user in Drop

This page describes the process of changing the permission level of a user in Drop with the admin dashboard.

Permission levels in drop

There are three user permission levels in Drop:

• Uploader: can author and upload packages to Drop.

• Admin: has access in admin features, such as:

  • managing platforms and versions (for example add a new version of Revit)

  • see server logs

  • changing permissions of users

• "Has access": has access to view and use the desktop application. By default all TT-users that have signed up to Drop have this access level.

How to change the permissions of a user

Note: changing the permissions of a user can only be done from an account which has admin access.

1. Go to https://drop.thorntontomasetti.com/

2. Log into drop and click on the Admin tab to the left.

2. Use the search bar to find the user you would like to change permission of.

3. Use the toggles in the table to change the permissions. For example, if you'd like to give Joshua access to upload packages to Drop, then ensure the "Uploader" toggle is set to true.

4. Once completed, you will see a green textbox with a success message. There is no save button, the change will apply immediately.

5. Ask the user to log in and confirm they see the functionality associated with the assigned permission level.

Before giving anyone uploader or admin permission, make sure to seek approval from relevant people in CORE studio.
