Companies Overview

Creating Companies Video

Multiple companies can work together using the same Primavera Cloud environment. For example, if the owning company hires a design firm and a subcontractor to work on the same project, the owning company can add both of the other companies as partner companies. The owning company can also add users to the partner companies and give them access to workspaces, projects, portfolios, programs, and ideas. Application administrators and users with any Companies global privileges are able to manage companies in the application.

Companies are categorized into groups such as vendors, resellers, owners, design consultants, architects, engineers, subcontractors, suppliers, and more. Users are added to companies, making information more manageable. Users working at partner companies can be assigned as a restricted user to give them limited access to your Primavera Cloud environment.

Two types of companies can exist in the application:

Owning company: An owning company has been created for you. A single owning company is required. You cannot change the status of an owning company to inactive, and it is not possible to delete an owning company.

Partner companies: A partner company is a separate entity from the owning company that needs to access your application. Examples of partner companies include vendors, resellers, subcontractors, owners, suppliers, and other consultants. Partner companies are listed under the owning company on the Companies page in the Global Admin settings. Users can be added to a partner company and assigned restricted access which will only allow them to see projects, portfolios, and programs assigned to their company in specific apps.
