    External User PW Web Connections not showing

    Good Morning,

    Has anyone had an issue with ProjectWise Project Web Connections not showing up on a Project for External Organizations? I am attempting to setup a project with PW Web Connections and will have External Organizations on the project. Everything is working as expected internally, however when testing an external account. I do not see the PW Web Connection for the project. Invite was accepted and external account can access the project, just no Web Connection. Running the current versions WSG, Gateway Services, and Plug-in.

    Thanks..

      Kevin, I think I have solved the issue. It appears that you must also invite the organization to the Web Connection(s) in the ProjectWise Project. This is in addition to inviting the individual users…

      Dave, Thanks for the information. This is the first time we are trying this out with external users. I was missing the sync part of the process for the web connections.

      Yes, the identity is the same. We are using Windows Sync'd accounts and I have added the IMS identity to the account. In my past experience with this I didn't have to use IMS for that to work, but that was internal. Had to provide domain credentials to access the connection but the connection still appeared to the user.

      Tim, which web platform are you using for this?

      Connect, PW365, Bentley Infrastructure Cloud?

      Tim, if you establish access control for your external users in ProjectWise Explorer, you can synchronize them all to the Connected ProjectWise Project with the Automatic User Sync features.

      Adding users as members of "External Organizations" in the ProjectWise (Web) Project is really only necessary for Deliverables Management workflows.
