User Roles

When adding users, you will need to apply the following roles, or a combination of:

ATLAS Admin Users

Require the following 3 roles:

  1. Atlas:Admin
  2. 3D:Admin
  3. Assets:assets.Roles.Admin

ATLAS Standard Users

Require the following 3 roles:

  1. Atlas:Creator
  2. 3D:Viewer
  3. Assets:assets.Roles.Creator

Assets Admin Users

  1. Assets:assets.Roles.Admin

Assets Standard Users

  1. Assets:assets.Roles.Creator

Documents Admin Users

  1. Documents:assets.Roles.Admin

Documents Standard Users

View Only Roles

If you want to add users with view only permissions, you can use the 'Viewer' roles available for each ATLAS area:

  • ATLAS.Viewer (& 3D.Viewer)
  • Assets:assets.Roles.Viewer
  • Documents:assets.Roles.Viewer

System Admin Users

System Admin users will need the 'AIMS:roles.Sysadmin' role, which allows them to manage users, user roles and groups.


External Sign On (Single Sign On)

If your organisation is using an active directory for its users, then when adding organisational users, under the 'External Sign On option in the user set up, select 'Yes'.

When set up for single sign on, users can login via the organisation SSO button upon the login screen:


On initial login for a SSO user, they will be greeted with a secondary login screen, click 'Create' to complete user set up and the user will be logged in. This is a one time action, subsequent logins will take the user directly into ATLAS.


For third party contractors or otherwise, select No. These users will then be required to set up their own password when signing into the system for the first time. This is achieved using the 'Forgot your password?' link upon the sign in page
