DDM Focus Workshop - Business Unit Access Control

DDM Focus Workshop - Business Unit Access Control is a CSI training resource that walks you through how to use Business Units in Design Data ManagerDDM) to improve access control in larger DDM.

What are Business Units in DDM?

Business Units in DDM allow for more granular and flexible access control by separating users and documents into different units. This is particularly useful in larger organizations with separate departments responsible for different documents.

How does it work?

By configuring Business Units you can:

  • Define user groups: Create groups of users based on their department or role.
  • Assign documents: Link documents to specific Business Units to restrict access.
  • Customize permissions: Set different permission levels for each group and document.

This structure provides more fine-grained control over who has access to what, improving the security and efficiency of document management.

Benefits of Business Units

  • Increased security: restrict access to sensitive documents based on the user's role or department.
  • Better organization: Keep documents and users organized according to the company structure.
  • More efficient workflows: reduce the risk of errors and improve collaboration between departments.

For a more detailed briefing, it is recommended to watch the full video above from the workshop.
