Adding more users to your project
One Click LCA provides User-based licenses, which means that in order to access and work with a project, the user needs a valid license. We have available three main types of licenses: Starter, Business, and Expert license. Based on the license level, the user can access a range of software features.
See the full list of our feature packages here.
How to work together with another licensed user who has a license under the same company account?
If your company has purchased several user licenses then you will have the right to add those users to your project without sending a request to our Support. You can simply add the user from your project main page, by clicking Users and providing your colleague with the necessary authorization access.
Make sure to use the correct email address, that your colleague has used to register at One Click LCA and that is linked to the license.
How to work together with another licensed user who has a license under a different company account?
This is possible in two different ways.
- If the user (who has a different license) that you want to work with has the same tools (indicators) on their license, you can add them to the project with read-only or modifier access.
- If the user (who has a different license) that you want to work with has different tools on their license, please contact One Click LCA Support by emailing support@bionova.fi.
Please notify us with the project name, the user name (email address) of the person you wish to work with, and which level of access this person needs to the project. Read-only users you can add by yourself to the project without needing to contact support.
How can I add my colleague or client as a read-only user when he/she does not have a license?
Previously support had to be contacted if this needed to be done, however with the new license model we support adding read-only users who do not have a license nor require a license. The read-only user must have registered a One Click LCA user account, and the read-only user cannot be upgraded to modifier or manager level users. This function can also be used if the read-only user has their own license on the One Click LCA platform.
Some cases in which this is used:
- If your client needs access to the project
- If the architect or designer needs access to the project
- If a third party verifier needs access to the project
- If you need access to a reference building which is created by another user
The user has to be added in the same way as mentioned above (Go to users and enter their email address), and select 'read-only' as the authorization level. If the user had not created an account yet they can also be sent a request to register with a personalized message.
Once you have entered the invited user with read-only access, they will be marked with (invited) in the user list. As soon as they register they will get access to the project and name and email address will be visible in the user list.
Three different project authorization levels
If you have manager access to a project you will be able to add users with three different authorization levels. These are as follows.
- Read-only access, this grants the user access to just viewing the project data.
- Modifier access, this grants the user access to modify the project data.
- Manager access, this grants the user access to the entire project, including modifying the existing data, deleting project information, and adding other users.
Frequently asked questions
Q: I have a Business license and my colleague has an Expert license, can we work together on the same project which is on the Expert license?
A: Yes you can! You will have access to the features which are associated with your account, which means even though you are added on an Expert license project, you would keep your Business level features. The available indicators in the project are based on in which license the project is created.
Q: I have a floating license and would like to add a user who has a different (non-floating) license, is this possible?
A: Yes. Depending on the level of access they require, this is done on a case by case basis, however, most of the time it is not a problem. You can always add people with read-only access directly. When you need to add a user from a non-floating license to a project which has been created on a floating license and this person needs either modifier or manager rights, you will need to always do this through support.
