Overview of the VaultAdmin
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.
