    Grant a PW SES License?

    Greetings,


    I have a hypothetical that may or may nor remain so. I'm looking for information as to how best to grant use of PW to a user, as we have an external user we may need to grant a PW license to. 

    Back before the advent of SES licensing, we could specify in the “Administrative” settings for a user where they received their license from. Either the connected integration server, or the client’s integration server. This granted a PW Passport license that could be used with PW Explorer (Visas did not exist at the time, so it was much less expensive to do). The licenses for MicroStation or toher design software were unaffected. 

    These days, for an IMS account using an SES license, the license would be granted by creating a user account on our Bentley portal that the user could log into. In this case, we would set the user up to use a PW VIsa license as they need to be using CADD data. But assuming we did that, how would the user be able to bring their own MicroStation or ORD license to be used? They can only be logged into CC under one set of credentials, and if they login to CONNECTION Client using the account we give them, we would extend PW Explorer usage only - we would not want to grant them licenses for the design software. is this possible?

    Can anyone shine a bit of light on this?

      We have an external Active Directory that our external users are created in.  Each external user creates an account (username, password, their email) which is pulled into a ProjectWise group.  This gives them read only access to top level folders.  Individual company groups can then be added per project as needed.  The external user uses their email to log in to CC and their license is utilized, not ours.
