Briefcases are the local copies of iModel that users can acquire to work with the iModel. Users can make changes to their copy of iModel and then push them as a single Changeset file into iModelHub. For more information on Briefcases see working with Briefcases.

Authentication

For more documentation on authorization and how to get access token visit OAUTH2 Authorization page.

Authorization

To release any Briefcase user must have imodels_manage permission assigned at the iModel level. If permissions at the iModel level are not configured, then user must have imodels_manage permission assigned at the iTwin level. To release a Briefcase that the user owns imodels_webview permission is enough.

Alternatively the user should be an Organization Administrator for the Organization that owns a given iTwin the iModel belongs to.

For more information please refer to Account Administrator documentation section on Access Control API documentation page.
