Contributors are prevented from functioning as Plan Reviewers and cannot be granted permissions to so they cannot perform markup, but they can access the Review page as of a recent update. |
The Contributor Role Explained
The Contributor user role is provided for clients who want to invite external customers, or partners, onto a project team for the purpose of collaborating with the plan reviewers.
Contributors do not have access to the Review page and may not conduct reviews. Instead, these individuals can:
...
- Respond to comments made by the plan reviewers in a secure, user friendly web page (7-11).
- View the comments on the plans pages through the EPR Review page.
- Download the marked up documents if those privileges have been granted.
- View the marked up documents using a PDF viewer, such as Adobe Reader.
NOTE: While While comments are visible to contributors once they become a project team member, the ability to respond to a comment is controlled by the reviewer who creates the comment ("Response Enabled" feature). At any point during the plan review, if a Contributor is granted access to a project then they will be able to view and respond to comments concurrently with the remainder of the review cycle. Comments added by contributors are placed below the most recent version of the reviewer's comment, and if reviewers update their comment then this updated version will display below the contributor's comment to maintain the chronology of the conversation as clear as possible. Contributor project access can be revoked, if desired, by an agency Admin at any time by removing the user from the project team.
NEW! Contributors can now view a comment directly on the EPR Review page to see it in context. From the Project Comments page, the Contributor hovers over the comment text to display the → (right-facing arrow) icon, as show below. Click on this button (→) to navigate to the Review page.
While on the Review page, Contributors can see the comments on the document page and access attachments to comments (if any), but cannot markup or otherwise modify the plans.
