Bluebeam Tip: Effective Permission Management in Bluebeam Revu for Enhanced Collaboration and Document Control

In Bluebeam Revu, setting up and managing permissions is crucial for effective collaboration and maintaining control over your documents. Proper permissions ensure that team members have the appropriate access levels, preventing unauthorized changes and maintaining document integrity.

Here are some key steps to effectively set up and manage permissions in Bluebeam:

1. Understanding User Roles and Permissions: Bluebeam Revu allows you to assign specific roles to users, such as Full Control, Read-Only, or Custom Permissions. It's important to understand what each role entails to assign the right level of access.
2. Setting Permissions in Studio Projects:
   • Create a Studio Project: Start by creating a new Studio Project where you can store and share documents with your team.
   • Invite Participants: Add users to your project by sending invitations via email.
   • Assign Permissions: For each participant, set their permission level:
     • Read-Only: User can view documents but cannot make changes.
     • Read/Write: User can view and edit documents.
     • Full Control: User has all permissions, including the ability to manage permissions for other users.
   • Adjusting Permissions: You can modify permissions at any time to reflect changes in project roles.
3. Managing Permissions in Studio Sessions:
   • Set Session Settings: When creating a Studio Session, configure settings to control participant permissions, such as allowing markups, markup alerts, and saving session files.
   • Participant Access: Control who can join the session by using access codes or limiting invitations.
   • Permission Levels: Decide if participants can invite others, save PDFs, or mark up documents.
4. Best Practices:
   • Regularly Review Permissions: Periodically check permissions to ensure they align with current team roles.
   • Limit Full Control Access: Restrict 'Full Control' permissions to key team members to maintain control over document management.
   • Use Groups for Easier Management: Create groups for users with similar roles to simplify permission assignment.
