Assigning iTwin Creation


How to Delegate iTwin Creation to Others

IMS Administrators and iTwin Owners can assign the ability to create iTwins to other users using role-based access control. Simply add the Create New iTwin permission to a new or existing Role and then assign the Role to the desired user. The permission is located under the General Permissions / Administration category (Figure 1).

Enterprise Level iTwin Creation

Users assigned the Create New iTwin permission at the Enterprise Level can create top-level iTwins for the Organization. Using Enterprise Role Management:

  1. An IMS Administrator should add the Create New iTwin permission to a new or existing Enterprise Role by first selecting Define Roles as shown in Figure 2.

2. Next, create a new role or modify an existing role to include the Create New iTwin permission as shown in Figure 1.

3. Next, find and select the user and select Modify Roles(s) as shown in Figure 3.

4. Assign the Role from step 2 containing the Create New iTwin permission to the user.

iTwin Level iTwin Creation

Users assigned the Create New iTwin permission via a Role assignment on an iTwin can create sub-iTwins using our iTwin API or through products like iTwin Experience, which allow users to create Asset iTwins under a parent Portfolio iTwin. The following steps can be performed from the Manage Project Team Members page (Figure 4):

  1. Add the Create New iTwin permission to an existing or new Project Role by first selecting the Manage Roles button. Alternatively, an Enterprise Role can be created, however, an IMS Administrator would need to perform this action.
  2. Next, find the user to be given the create iTwin permission and ensure the role from step 1 (Figure 5) is assigned to them. In the example below, a new Role called iTwin Creator was used and can be seen in Figure 5.
