User permissions

User permissions

In general, it is possible to host several visual energy 4 projects on one server. Since version 4.6 R3, the project manager can create any desired number of users in his project. A predefined user role has to be assigned to these users at project, location or medium level. This controls the user access to the individual areas and functions. Furthermore, individual permissions can be set for documents, diagrams, cost centers and energy benefits.
