One or more vault administrators specify settings for the SOLIDWORKS Workgroup PDM vault and permissions for users.
If users are logged in to Workgroup PDM, and the vault administrator makes changes to any of the settings, the settings do not take effect until the users refresh their vault views. Some changes (such as deleting a user) take effect when users log out or close SOLIDWORKS or Workgroup PDM.
