Administrator Roles and Privileges

There are organization level administrators and project level administrators in Oracle Preconstruction. These privilege levels determine the amount of control and interaction a user can have with projects and feature areas.

Administrator roles can be set when the organization administrator adds other users to an organization. See Add a User.

Only an organization administrator can—

Assign and unassign other organization administrators. An organization administrator may choose to add a secondary user at this level as a backup administrator.
Create, copy, view, and manage all bid packages and projects. These users can view and manage all files and settings for bid packages and projects.
Update their organization profile. These users can modify all organization details, such as contact information, location, and other information.
Add and invite new users. Organization administrators can manage users in an organization by adding or inviting new users to the organization, and they can also delete contacts from an unregistered organization.
Add/update vendor contacts and import subcontractor lists. Organization administrators can update private vendor data and add new vendors to their directory to include accepting or declining connection requests.
Note: Organization administrators manage default project settings in the Project controls area which impacts privileges for project administrators.

General contractors have access to additional settings to manage their organization and users on a project level, but they can choose to assign project administrator status to other users as well. See Specify Who Can Create Projects (General Contractors).

Project administrators can—

Create projects and manage project details. The organization administrator grants this level of privilege. A project administrator can only create and modify their own projects if the organization settings allow it.
When you create your own project, you are considered the project administrator for that project, and any other project you create, unless project or user settings are adjusted by the organization administrator.
View/edit profile. Project administrators can view and edit their own profile settings, but not at an organization level.
Note: Project administrators can only manage information for projects that they create themselves.

Non-administrators can—

Receive/accept/decline invitations to bid. You must set your profile to Public in order to submit a bid view new opportunities.
Receive messages and attachments. General contractors can respond to messages from subcontractors with text or attachments.
View bid and generate some reports. Users with project access can view the Reports page and generate status and message history reports for projects for which they have been granted view access.
View opportunities. Users with Premium access who have been invited to bid can view open opportunities, download files, and manage their opportunities.
See Premium Features for Subcontractors.
