Hi,

We have uploaded a 3D .nwd model using the Fusion UI and noticed that the underlying processed 3D files (e.g., .glb, .reveal, .zip) are stored as file resources and are visible in the Data Explorer under the Files resource type.

I couldn’t find any documentation or guideline on how to assign security categories to hide or restrict access to these files for end users. I also tried using dataset-based access control, but I’m looking for a better or recommended way to handle this.

Appreciate your guidance or suggestions.

Hi,

I do not believe there is currently a way to hide the files in the Data Explorer UI

The best way to do this, as you mention, would be to use datasets to manage the access. To be able to do this, you would need to assign a dataset to all other files and then scope the access groups to be able to only access that dataset. 

We will take that into account for future development and improvements of our UI. 

Thank you
