Enterprise management

DataMesh FactVerse provides a series of enterprise management functions to manage and configure users, roles, departments, and other related settings within the enterprise.

User permission management

User permission management is an important function in DataMesh FactVerse. It is associated with the user’s enterprise organizational structure, controlling different user operation permissions through setting permissions on the user’s department and position.

User permission management in DataMesh FactVerse includes two parts: license allocation and functional permissions of FactVerse.

• • License Allocation: Used to allocate the licenses to use the DataMesh FactVerse platform and DataMesh client applications. Administrators with management rights can configure licenses for users in Enterprise Management > User Management > User Details > License Assignment or configure in Enterprise Management > License Management.
  • FactVerse function permissions: The use of each functional module in DataMesh FactVerse requires enabling the corresponding use permissions. Administrators with management rights can enable the use permissions of the corresponding functional modules according to the position requirements. When adding a user, the position assigned to the user will determine the user’s functional permissions.
  •  

To provide users with the correct access and use permissions, when adding users for an enterprise, enterprise administrators or users with enterprise management rights need to set user permissions according to the following steps:

1. Create a new department. Refer to Enterprise Management > Department Management.

2. Create a new position. Refer to Enterprise Management > Role Management.

3. Add a user. Refer to Enterprise Management > User Management > Add a new user.

4. Assign License: Grant permissions to users, allowing them to access FactVerse and use DataMesh client products. Refer to Enterprise Management > User Management > Assign License.

User Management

You can choose Enterprise Management > User Management in the function module navigation bar to enter the User Management page.

The User Management page displays all users in the enterprise and supports viewing account details, creating, enabling, or disabling accounts, managing account permissions, filtering, searching for accounts, etc.

• • Add a new user: Click the New button to start to add a new user.
  • Search for an account: Search for user accounts in the search bar.
  • Disable an account: Click the disable button to disable an account.
  • Enable an account: Click the enable button to enable an account.

  • Notes:

    • After reactivating the account, the administrator needs to ensure that a license is promptly reassigned to the account.
    • During the period when the account is deactivated, any folders created by the account will be transferred to the administrator for management. When reactivating the account, the administrator can decide whether to return ownership of the folders to the original account user.
  • Delete an account: Users possessing user deletion permission can delete an account on the user management page.
  • View user details: Click the details button corresponding to the user to open that user’s details page.

Acceleration Service Settings

The acceleration service for uploading resource files (scenarios and models) is supported by the Unity Accelerator. Accelerated files (usually 3D models) have faster loading speeds and fewer nodes without changing the model structure, etc. Unaccelerated files can still be used, but the loading speed depends on the complexity of the model, potentially resulting in slow loading and lag during use.

1. Click on Enterprise Management > Acceleration Service Settings in the function navigation bar to open the Acceleration Service Settings page.

2Check the acceleration platform and click the Apply button to complete the setup of the acceleration platform.

Enterprise Settings

Storage configuration

Click the Add button  to open the Storage Configuration window.

Two types of storage configuration:

• • Azure blob
  • AWS-S3

Developer Configuration

The developer configuration feature supports managing Access Key for accessing the enterprise. Developers can use the Access Key to call the login API and access this enterprise.

Collaboration Service Configuration

Collaboration Service Configuration supports configuring the MQTT message server responsible for receiving collaborative events messages.

Click the Enable switch, then set the collaboration server address, port, and protocol.

IP Whitelist

You can control access to the FactVerse service by setting up a whitelist. This allows only certain IP addresses, a group of IP addresses, or IP addresses within a specified range using subnet masks to access the service.

BIM 360 Configuration

The FactVerse platform supports importing files from Autodesk BIM 360. Enterprise administrators can follow these steps:

1. The enterprise administrator sends a developer invitation email to DataMesh.

2. DataMesh completes the Forge Client ID, App Name, App Logo, and App Description to obtain access to users’ Autodesk BIM 360 accounts.

3. The enterprise administrator logs into the FactVerse platform and fills in the Account ID and Account key in the BIM360 configuration section on the Enterprise Settings page.

For specific instructions on obtaining Autodesk BIM 360 account access, please refer to: Manage API Access to BIM 360 Docs | BIM 360 API | Autodesk Platform Services

AI assistant model selection

On the FactVerse platform, users can choose between two different AI assistant content generation models: Azure OpenAI and OpenAI.

Each model has its advantages:

• • Azure OpenAI: Easier integration with Azure cloud services, suitable for users already within the Azure ecosystem.
  • OpenAI: Faster response times, ideal for users with higher performance requirements.

Login security

Enterprise administrators can configure the security authentication method for user logins. There are two following two options:

• • Password Verification: Use FactVerse account credentials for regular login.
  • Account, Password, and SMS Code Verification: If this option is enabled, when enterprise users log into the FactVerse platform and its client applications must enter their username and password correctly, obtain a verification code sent to their mobile phone, and complete online authentication to log in.
