Default Deliverables Management permission for Team Members should be on "Receive" as a minimum. This will enable all externals users (who are often only added for Deliverables Management Purposes) can continue to receive DM packages without waiting for an administrator to amend their permissions.

We are already having SERIOUS delays and backlash on projects due to external users accepting invites and then disappearing from the address book for future DM submissions. We are left with 2 workarounds:

1. Contact the admin (often this is just the first person to accept the invite) asking them to amend the Global TEAM MEMBER permission (if they even have permission to do so) or to amend permissions every time we add a new person.

2. Reinvite users every time we send a package.

The problem with option 1 is that many external organisations are small companies that do not hold a registered license with Bentley Projectwise. We receive many complaints from the Organisations having no time to manage permissions just for users to receive transmittals. Sometimes we get no response at all, leaving us unable to send packages to recipients.

With option 2, reinviting users adds a huge amount of time to get packages out and also annoys the recipients that they keep receiving invitations they have previously accepted.

Projectwise Web used to assign both the DM VIEW and RECIEVE permissions by default upon acceptance for an external user. Other systems such as Aconex do not turn off a users ability to receive Mail by default . Only send permissions for contractual submissions are controlled.

The default DM permissions for "TEAM MEMBERS" should be amended to Receive permissions to avoid these huge problems we are experiencing.
