Update user membership from Bentley IMS claims Turn this setting on if you want to synchronize this ProjectWise group with a Bentley IMS group of the same name. In this case, synchronization means that when Bentley IMS users (who belong to the Bentley IMS group that has the same name as this ProjectWise group) log in to ProjectWise (using their Bentley IMS accounts and Bentley IMS authentication), they will be automatically added to this ProjectWise group.

For this synchronization to work, the datasource setting Bentley IMS > Allow user group membership updates by identity claims must also be turned on.

The purpose of the Owners tab is to assign users ownership of a group from ProjectWise Administrator, so that they can then manage that group's membership and ownership from ProjectWise Explorer.
