How to set up Users and Groups


What is the purpose of this information?

Provides control over the ability for users to enable applications, where entitlements can be restricted per user or group.  These restrictions can be shifted as needed by the Administrator. 

 

How do I configure users and groups? 

 

Step 1: Review the users

The Users and Groups pages shows you a list of your Bentley application users.  They can be managed via User Management, which is accessed by the 'User Management' button on the Subscriptions Services Portal of the CONNECT Center. Entitlements may be added or removed for specific users by clicking on the user name. This can also be achieved in the next part under groups by adding “or User Name” where it says “Select the Group Name…”

 

Step 2: Provide Entitlement access

Entitlement groups created in User Management may be given access to an application(s). Access can also be removed.

1. Select the Group name to see whether access is granted in the Group Entitlements dialog

2. Click the green Add Entitlements button > search for the application and click Grant Access

A user's profile country is selected at the time of registration. Their entitlement country is automatically assigned based on the rules below.  Administrators can decide what Entitlements should be assigned when they register.

*Please note: Entitlement Management  settings only apply to applications that use Subscription Entitlement Service and are not applicable to applications that are used with SELECTserver activation keys.
