VDOT is looking for a way to automate the synching of the user lists to add the new users to the projects in the portal. We have over 1000 Locally Administered projects using PWDM and we're constantly adding new users to the user lists and that requires we manually resync each project.
|
Practical use of functionality?
Every time we add a new user to a user list a PWDM administrator must manually resync all the projects that new user needs access to. We are looking for automated way or solution to resync the user list on all projects they need access to. |

What is the impact of not doing this?
We are wasting a lot time keeping projects up to date with user access. We have over 1000 Locally Administered projects to update permissions in the portal. |
ProjectWise Web connections service has introduced automatic user synchronization some time ago. It synchronizes the users to Team member section in the portal. Deliverables Management does have its own user management solution in Connect portal, so the Web connections sync is not useful in this portal. However, in Bentley Infrastructure Cloud portal (which is the future target portal for all Bentley users) Deliverables Management works with the main Team member management section and the automatic Web connection sync can be used for giving users access to Deliverables Management.
