Project Administration Roles

Trimble Connect has built account level functionality that provides Trimble Account Admins better visibility into projects data, data access, and definition of account level data which can be utilized in projects owned by your account.

For more information see Project Administrator Feature Overview.

Your account and the account roles assigned to users are used by other systems within Trimble to build a shared ecosystem for you that spreads across account management down to product and data access.

This may provide other functionalities tied to the account roles like managing your account, managing licenses, or managing account users.

Accessing the Trimble Connects Project Admin Dashboard

Access to Trimble Connect's Project Administration dashboard and functionality is restricted to Trimble Account Admins who have one of the following account roles assigned to them:
  • Account Owner
  • Contract Admin (Account role defined by Trimble Civil Product Services)
  • Administrator (Account role defined by Tekla Online's Admin Tool)
  • Secondary Account Owner
  • Company Admin
Note: Connect does not control or manage how roles are assigned to users in your account. These roles are defined by the account management portals/ licensing systems which your account originates from. See Licensing Systems for details.
Account roles can be managed in the respective Account Management portals:
