  • 1.  Adding License User Role

    Posted Fri June 09, 2023 10:51 AM

    Hello,

    I am new on Blueworks Live and I am trying to solve one problem.

    I have Subscription Administrator role and I am trying to add a License User role to another user but I cannot enable that role for a user(checkbox gives red circle).

    I don't think I've ever seen the screen you are showing. When you are logged into BlueworksLive, there should be an Admin link right next to your name. This is where you can administer what role a user belongs to, assuming you have already invited them to use Blueworks and that they have accepted the invitation and logged in.

    Yes, that was a correct way, I have discovered it just after I posted question.

    I was looking at wrong place to add a license for a user.

    Thank you,

    Borko

    There is an issue with the "License User" role not being enabled, it is currently under investigation by the IBM Blueworks Live team.

    In the meantime, there is a workaround that you can use:

    1. Create a new role with the same permissions as the "License User" role.
    2. Assign the new role to the user.
    3. Once the user has been assigned the new role, you can enable the "License User" role.

    Here are the steps on how to create a new role:

    1. Go to the Administration page.
    2. Click the Roles tab.
    3. Click the Create New Role button.
    4. In the Create New Role dialog box, enter a name and description for the new role.
    5. Select the permissions that you want to grant to the new role.
    6. Click the Create button.

    Here are the steps on how to assign a role to a user:

    1. Go to the Administration page.
    2. Click the Users tab.
    3. Select the user that you want to assign the role to.
    4. In the Roles section, select the role that you want to assign.
    5. Click the Save button.

    Here are the steps on how to enable the "License User" role:

    1. Go to the Administration page.
    2. Click the Roles tab.
    3. Select the "License User" role.
    4. In the Status section, select Enabled.
    5. Click the Save button.

    Once you have followed these steps, the user will be able to use the "License User" role.

    Hi Jonah,
    How can I invite users to Blueworks Live? I also don't see any option/button or any way to add a user to the account/space I've created.

    When you are logged into Blueworks Live you should see a link at the bottom of the page (on the right) to "Invite New Users". If you do not see this link then the Blueworks administrator has disabled this option and you will need to locate your admin to get a user added.

    Once added you can go to the "Users" tab for your space and add the relevant permissions.

    I hope that helps.

    In the bottom bar (IBM logo left side), over on the right side any user logged in with edit access should be shown, but next to that there should be a button for Admins that says "Invite New Users"... this will pop up to add email addresses for one or more users and the license type (edit, contribute, view) for them to receive. An email will be sent to those users inviting them to join Blueworks.

    Described here: Adding users - IBM Documentation

    Its always irked me that on the Admin > User Management screen there isn't an Invite button right there in the user list!
