ArchiMate® 3.x is supported from ARIS 10 SR1 onward. It is included by default in ARIS Connect Server. For ARIS Design Server the ArchiMate extension Pack is required. After import of the ArchiMate 3.0 or ArchiMate 3.1 filter, additional 23 ArchiMate Viewpoint model types will be available in the ARIS Method.
Warning
If a filter with the same GUID already exists, it will be overwritten. To merge filters first duplicate the current filter, then import the older version of the filter. The two versions can be merged afterwards.

The Viewer license enables users to view models of databases for whose groups the users have access rights. These users can also exchange information about database contents with other users. This means that these users use databases for review and information purposes.
The Designer license enables users to create, edit, and delete models in databases for whose groups they have access rights. This means that these users edit databases. These users can also exchange information about database contents with other users. The Designer license can be extended by the ARIS Designer SAP license.
Users with the Project room management privilege can manage project rooms, for example, invite users, assign licenses, and create or import databases. These users thus ensure that the project room users are provided with an optimal working environment. These users can also configure method contents, conventions, and databases .
