Adding Users to your Organization and Setting Organization Permissions


Overview

iTwin IoT users have two levels of permissions: an organizational role that dictates the user's ability to access and create projects, and a project-level role that determines the access permissions for individual projects. For a description of these roles, please visit the User Organization and Project Roles Overview article. This article will cover adding users and setting up the organization-level roles. 

 

 

Adding a User to the IMS Organization

This section of the article will guide the user in adding new users to your IMS organization. This workflow is used to get users into your Bentley IMS organization so they can be added to iTwin IoT projects, submit ServiceNow cases, or access other Bentley products. Note: User must have an organization IMS role that allows you to add users to the organization.

If the user to be added to an project is external to your organization, please proceed to the Project Level Role Configuration section.

 

 

  1. Accessing User Management- The Organization level user management portal can be accessed through the menu bar on the top right corner of the iTwin IoT Assets page shown above, and then clicking "Organization Users and roles". For Bentley IMS Admins unfamiliar with or not using iTwin IoT, you can go to https://connect.bentley.com/ to get to the page, shown below. Clicking on the pane option in the upper left opens a side window where you can scroll down to find and click on the "User Management" button.
