Choose model editing scope and independent operations separately. All members can view the project; an unchecked object family prevents editing that family, not seeing it.
| Access mode | Model operations |
|---|---|
| View only | Inspect the model without editing its objects. Independent permissions may still be granted below. |
| Full editor access | Edit all model object families. Estimate, document and history permissions still use their own switches. |
| Custom | Edit only the checked families in the capability tree. Group switches select or clear their child families. |
The owner always has full access and controls project membership and public viewing. A member's editing grant does not make them the owner or give them control of other members.

Independent permissions
Estimate calculation enables estimate management. Documents & export enables document operations and exports. History & restore enables saved-version restoration operations. Change history independently enables reading the saved-change journal, which requires Pro or Team for the project owner. Each can be checked for any Access mode; Full editor access alone does not turn them on.
