Users

Each member of the organization using PLM must be registered by the General Administrator as a PLM user. Users are assigned to different roles with varying levels of authorization such as Administrator and Design engineer. The role determines the functions that the user is authorized to perform, such as viewing or modifying data. The highest level of user authorization is given to the General Administrator, who assigns users to projects and groups.

The General Administrator can authorize one user as the Project Manager for a project. Project Managers are responsible for the administration of data within the projects. Users are initially allocated to projects with the default roles; however, this can be overridden for a specific project. Users defined with the General Administrator's role are automatically assigned to all projects.

After the PLM user is created, you must assign the user to the required PLM Projects along with the Role in the Project. This is done using the PLM Projects (pdadm3500m000) session.

User must also be assigned to a default project using the Users PLM Preferences (pdadm0102m200) session.

You can also use this session to:

• Link user to a group
• Set up security rules
• Set or remove out of office for a user
• Inactivate or activate the user
