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, for example Administrator and Design engineer. The role determines the functions that the user is authorized to perform, such as viewing or modifying data. The highest user authorization is 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 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, 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
Inactivate or activate the user
