Adding a New Entry
|
|
The Windchill Directory Server control panel allows you to view, add, modify, and delete entries. PTC does not recommend using the Windchill Directory Server control panel for managing Windchill generated user, group, and organization entries. These entries should be managed through normal Windchill interfaces. The use of the control panel to add, modify and delete entries should be limited to manual repair or debug functions.
For details on managing Windchill users, group, and organization entries, see the Windchill Basic Administration Guide.
