Public Visible

The Public Visible permission in DMIx is available on every item level and makes the entire content of the folder, collection or the object as such visible to connected companies. This setting ensures transparent access to shared data while maintaining read-only restrictions. Setting the “Public visible” flag is possible in the edit mode for all item types.

Use Cases for Public Visible

• Sharing standardized assets with multiple connected companies.
• Providing visibility of approved references without granting editing rights.
• Ensuring data integrity by restricting modifications while allowing access.

Company Admin Control Over Public Visible Content
