The Model Manager (Beta) tool allows project teams to view, coordinate, and track construction models directly within the application. Understanding specific access ensures your team members possess the appropriate level of visibility to perform their day-to-day operations. Assigning the correct permissions helps protect model integrity while streamlining collaboration between managers, field teams, and stakeholders.

Answer

Managing user access to the Model Manager (Beta) tool depends on the permission level assigned to a user's account profile for the tool. You can assign users these permission levels: 'Read Only', 'Standard', and 'Admin'. As a best practice, Procore recommends structuring your team's permissions by your team's job role to help you optimize collaboration.

To create items, link objects, or pin elements with Connected BIM, you must have the correct permissions for that specific Procore tool.
