Before using ArcGIS GeoBIM, you need to understand the security requirements. To learn more, see User types, roles, and privileges.
Below are the three main components for security for ArcGIS GeoBIM.
Autodesk account
An Autodesk account is required to use ArcGIS GeoBIM. The following are features that require an Autodesk account:
- Creating an account in ArcGIS GeoBIM requires access to the BIM 360 or Autodesk Construction Cloud project documents.
- Viewing documents requires access to the BIM 360 or Autodesk Construction Cloud document being viewed.
- Creating issues in ArcGIS GeoBIM requires "create issues" permission in the Autodesk project. To create an issue linked to a document, access to the document in BIM 360 or Autodesk Construction Cloud is also required. Learn more about Autodesk issue permissions .
Esri user type
Esri user types control access to ArcGIS GeoBIM via licensing and define which default roles are available. You must have a user type with the ArcGIS GeoBIM capability (formerly known as User Type Extension) assigned. This is included in the following user types:
- Contributor
- Mobile Worker
- Creator
- Professional
- Professional Plus
See the User types documentation for the description of each user type.
Esri role
The table below shows the default roles and ArcGIS GeoBIM feature access based on the roles. An Administrator role has full access to all features and functionality regardless of who owns the project or app or the sharing level assigned.
