ProjectWise Administrator Help

Profile Properties dialog

Used to create a synchronization profile that will be used to synchronize the datasource with Bentley IMS accounts from a particular organization.

Opens when you right-click the User Synchronization Profiles node and select New > Profile, or when you double-click an existing profile.

SettingDescription
Name A name that describes the profile.
User name and Password The email address and password of the service identity account that was created in the User Management portal, for the purpose of synchronizing the datasource with Bentley IMS accounts from the organization associated to the specified service identity account.
Identity provider The name of the identity provider you configured in the Identity Providers node.
Allow automatic synchronization When on (default), then synchronization will occur automatically, at whatever frequency or schedule is set in the DMSKRNL.CFG file (see Configure Automatic Synchronization, by Schedule or Frequency). You can still manually run a synchronization, even when this setting is on.

If this setting is off, then you will only be able to manually run a synchronization.

Allow user account deletion, replace deleted owners with <username> If on, then upon synchronization, if a ProjectWise account is associated to a Bentley IMS account that no longer exists, the association will be removed from the ProjectWise account. If the affected ProjectWise account is not associated to any other identity, and does not have native authentication enabled, then the ProjectWise account will also be deleted. If the deleted ProjectWise account was the owner of any objects in the datasource, the specified owner will be made the new owner for those objects.

If this setting is off, synchronization will disable accounts when needed, instead of deleting them.
