Granular Sharing — Role and Group Management

With Altium 365, you can grant permission to teams or users based on the specific needs of a project. We have expanded Altium 365’s file-sharing setting, giving you more granular control over who can download source files and reshare projects with others.

Varying Degrees of Granularity

Altium 365 lets you set group or individual permissions so you can share a specific project with your team and provide editing or view-only permission.

Advanced Settings

Additional sharing permissions are available to the project owner and administrators in the Share dialog box. Use the Advanced Settings options to specify the re-sharing and download rights for users with whom the project is shared.

Sharing by Link

Altium 365 sends a notification to the users with whom your project is shared. Users can also copy and paste a link to the project and send it via chat or email so anyone with a link can view a project without having to download it. To generate a link to the design, click Copy Link and send it to users as needed. For requesting access and resharing, check Managing Access Requests in Altium 365.

Sharing to Organization

Companies can use access control functions to ensure view-only access within their organization—for all or specific projects inside the Workspace—without needing to invite people to the Workspace or directly share projects. Select “Anyone in can access” in the dropdown menu in the Share dialog box. This grants any user in the organization (with an AltiumLive account) access to view the project using the link. The design will also be visible in these users' “Shared with me” section.

Pending Approval

As an administrator or user with sharing permissions, you can individually review access requests for the project. When people ask for access, they see a message that an admin needs to approve their request. Once you approve a request, the user can see or edit the project based on the permissions you set.
