Assigning full control over a Studio Project

Applies to:

  • Revu 20
  • Revu 2019
  • Revu 2018

Jump to other versions:

You can reassign ownership of a Studio Project by editing its permissions from Project Settings. For this process, the new Project owner needs a Bluebeam Studio account, and have signed into the Project at least once.

The new owner doesn’t have to be currently signed into the Project while you assign them Full Control. If the new owner doesn’t have a Studio account, refer them to Creating a Studio Account in Bluebeam Revu.
  1. Sign into the Project and click Project Settings Revu Project Settings Icon.
  2. Go to the Permissions tab and select the user’s email address from the User/Groups list on the left.
    1. If the user is not in the project, click the Plus sign on the left and select the desired user from the Add Users/Groups dialog box, and click OK.
  3. In the Applied/Permissions window, select Full Control > Allow.
  4. Click Apply and OK to close the dialog box.

The user now has complete control over the User Access, Permissions and Folder Permissions tabs. Because the host still owns the Project and all Groups they’ve created, users with Full Control cannot block or remove the host from the Project, or edit the host’s Groups (i.e. add or remove users from Groups).

Revu 2017 and older

Studio Projects can’t be re-assigned in the same way that Sessions can, so you’ll need to grant Full Control to a delegate. For this process to work, the new person must already have a Bluebeam Studio account, and logged in to the Project at least once.

Note: They don’t have to be currently logged in to the Project while you’re granting Full Control.

If they don’t already have a Studio account, please refer them to our FAQ about creating a Studio account in Bluebeam Revu.

    • Once they’ve done that, you can log in to the Project and click Project Settings , and then click the Permissions
    • Click the Plus sign on the left side of the dialog box, select the desired user from the list in the Add Users/Groups dialog box, and click OK.

  • Now that you’re back at the Permissions tab in the Project Settings dialog box, select the user’s email address from the User/Groups list on the left, and Full Control under Applied/Permissions on the right, and then click the associated dropdown menu and choose Allow.
  • Click Apply and OK to close the Project Settings dialog box.

The user now has complete control over the User Access, Permissions and Folder Permissions tabs.

Note: Because the Host still owns the Project and all Groups they’ve created, users with Full Control cannot block or remove the Host from the Project, or edit their Groups (add or remove users).
