All documents in Conisio are securely stored in a central file vault, preventing unauthorized access and assuring documents never to be accidentally overwritten. The structure of the file vault, in conjunction with the local working area and cache mechanism, minimizes the need of network bandwidth and assures high performance when working with e.g. large assemblies.

The structure of the file vault also enables concurrent engineering, which means that several users can simultaneously update parts of the same assembly drawing.

Access to files, folders and tools in Conisio is controlled by access rights on both an individual and a group level. The rights may be valid for the entire file vault, for whole folders, for single files or only for files of a certain state. The rights may, for instance, vary from only reading a file to deleting it, or to change the file data card, the state in the workflow, or the revision number of a file

Only one user at a time may update a particular document, though any number of users may at the same time access the very same document in read-only mode.

An Administrator manages these rights in user and group profile cards from an easy-to-use administration tool. Users in Conisio can also be syncronized with existing Windows Domain accounts or LDAP accounts to allow users to keep their normal Windows profile login.
