Aconex User Roles

HTML widget

Every Aconex user has a user role and each role brings with it different responsibilities and access privileges. Learn what your role means.

Having user roles allows organizations and projects to easily control and manage what users can do in Aconex at a group level, instead of having to manage users individually.

By default, there are 5 user roles for each organization, though each organization can change or rearrange this to suit their own needs. It’s also worth noting that each user can be assigned more than one role.

The 5 default user roles are:

Organization Administrator (Org Admin)

Org Admins – and there can be more than one per organization – are appointed by an organization to manage that organization’s settings in Aconex on behalf of all users. The person who registers an organization in Aconex becomes the Org Admin by default, though this can be changed.

Org Admins can appoint other users as Org Admins, and they can configure and assign the user role settings for all users in their organization.

Check out our Administrator Starter Kit. Many of these tasks need to be carried at in the initial phase of an organization’s entry to Aconex.

Project Administrator

Because each project is driven by its own specific requirements, an organization can appoint Project Admins (1 or more) to customize and manage the settings for a particular project. The user role settings applied by the Project Admin can be applied to users – as individuals or for all users in the Project Admin’s organization.

Project-wide preference settings, that is, settings that will apply to all users from all organizations working on that project, can only be made by the Project Admin of the project owning organization.
