Windows Identities tab

See Manually Creating Users and Configuring Login Credentials.

Other Identities tab

Use this tab if you want to associate a Bentley IMS account, or some other external identity (such as a Microsoft account) to this user's ProjectWise account.

See Manually Creating Users and Configuring Login Credentials.

Settings tab

Contains the user's personal user settings, which determine what the user can and cannot do, in general, with documents, folders, and work areas. User settings also determine what items the user sees in ProjectWise Explorer; for example whether or not versions display, or where or not custom folders display.

When the Can change... setting is on for a particular category, that means the user will be able to see and change the settings for that category from the Settings tab of the User Properties dialog in ProjectWise Explorer.

Each category can be expanded to display its settings. If an icon appears to the left of a setting, that generally means the setting can be expanded to display suboptions.

See User Properties Dialog > Settings Tab.
