• Firstly, you can only access a drawing matching the list of aircrafts you operate, own or maintain (generally your fleet).
• You can select a program to limit the access to some documents (sheets, Parts List).
• You will have specific rights to view some documents. For example the "Detail Drawings" or "Unreferenced drawing" have a restricted access. In regard to your contract, you can have or not have access to this drawing sub-set.

These criteria allow you to focus on the specific information concerning just a program or aircraft in your fleet.
