Default user role settings
At the start of your project there will be five user roles available in Aconex. We've listed the settings for each of these here.
The table below lists the settings for each of the five default Aconex user roles. Note that your Project or Organization Admins can change these settings and create additional user roles, so the ones used by your organization may differ to the ones shown here. For more information on roles see Aconex user roles and managing user roles for your organization.
