Linking an Employee to a User ID

Changing the Language for the APM Server

This section explains how to create APM users and link them to employee records. It also explains how to change the language preference on the APM server.

Each person who uses APM must have a user identification (ID) in the APM database. The APM user login name must match the user’s Windows or Bentley CONNECT login name. You can select one or more security profiles for each user ID and set the user’s privilege level, for example, end-user or administrator.

You can set up records for each employee by site. An employee is not the same as an APM user. Employee records contain information about the people working at the site, but they do not provide access to the APM system. An APM user ID allows the user to log on to the system using Windows or Bentley CONNECT authentication.

Employees who will not be using APM might need employee records so that you can schedule work order tasks or track labor costs. Employees will not be registered as APM users unless you also set up a user ID for them and link the user ID to the employee record.
