Both the site administrator and the organization administrator of the current organization can add users to the Program Creators group. From Organizations Creators, select the Program Creators view from the table view dropdown list. From this table you can add users.

Creating Users to Select as Administrators

Note

Only members of an organization can be organization administrators, product creators, library creators, project creators, or program creators.

In a production environment, users are usually defined in an enterprise directory that is set up during installation. If you are setting up a test system and do not have a set of users from which to select administrators, you can create a set of test users in the default directory service using the Participant Administration utility. The

Participant Administration utility is available from Site Utilities.

The Administrator user that is created during the installation (for example, wcadmin) is not associated to a specific organization; this user does not have the organization attribute (usually “o”) set. Therefore, this user cannot be added as an organization administrator unless the Administrator user is updated to include the organization attribute. You can use the Participant Administration utility to update the Administrator user.

Note

If your site does not use the organization attribute in the directory service entry, users can be assigned to an organization using the usersOrganizationName property. For more information on using this property, see Configuring Additional Enterprise Directories in the PTC Windchill Installation and Configuration Guide.

At a minimum, you need to either update the Administrator user so the user is a member of the default organization or create another user who can be the organization administrator. This user can then administer the organization and create products, libraries, projects, and programs.
