Additional Administrative Groups
The following additional administrative groups are automatically created for all Windchill solutions to help define users for specific administrative activities in your solution:
• Attribute Administrators
• LifeCycleAdministrators
• Replication Managers
• Type Administrators
• WorkflowAdministrators
• Workflow Authors
For example, those users in the Attribute Administrators group can manage reusable attributes. Those users in the LifeCycleAdministrators group become participants in the Default life cycle template, when that template is used.
If Windchill Supplier Management is installed, the installation creates the following administration group:
• Supplier Administrators
For information on Supplier Management activities, see
About Windchill Supplier ManagementBy using the Participant Administration utility, you can add users to any of the administration groups.
Additional types of administrators are available as appropriate for the application contexts within your Windchill solution:
• An organization administrator manages a specific organization.
• A product manager manages a specific product.
• A library manager manages a specific library.
• A project manager manages a specific project.
• A program manager manages a specific program.
• A shared team manager manages a specific shared team, and acts as a context manager for any contexts that use the shared team.
