Organizations, Projects, Users and Roles

FactoryTalk Hub

has a concept of Organizations. Organizations (org) hold the entitlements for licenses/subscriptions. Users create accounts in MyRockwell and get added to an organization.

FactoryTalk DataMosaix SaaS

will soon be able to federate users IDP for SSO, but for the time being, you must have a MyRockwell user account to get started.

To get started with

FactoryTalk DataMosaix SaaS

, you will need an organization created in

FactoryTalk Hub

. Then, you need to associate the entitlement to the organization. The person who creates the org and assigns the entitlement is automatically an admin (“owner” technically, but the same as an admin). This person can invite others to the org.

Once there is an org with a

FactoryTalk DataMosaix SaaS

entitlement, an admin user can click on the

FactoryTalk DataMosaix

tile to create the

FactoryTalk DataMosaix SaaS

project. For clarity, this document uses the term ‘

project

’ from Cognite to avoid confusion. It is not for a specific project, it is the place where data for the organization can be gathered and used.

One of the things that happens when the first user clicks on the

FactoryTalk DataMosaix

tile is a

FactoryTalk DataMosaix SaaS

project gets created in the back-end system. This project will have a name with the org name dash a number between 1 and 60. For example, if you have an org named AcmeManufacturing, you’ll get a

FactoryTalk DataMosaix SaaS

project called something like acmemanufacturing-10.

At this point, you can use

FactoryTalk DataMosaix SaaS

normally. It’s empty and configured for use. Next, you’ll want to invite users to the org.

There are two types of users in

FactoryTalk Hub

- Admins and Contributors. There is more granularity of these roles defined in

FactoryTalk DataMosaix SaaS

itself. Admins will automatically get assigned the Project Admin role in

FactoryTalk DataMosaix SaaS

so that they can administer other users. Contributors are normal users without admin privileges. You can always give contributors the Project Admin role in

FactoryTalk DataMosaix SaaS

later if you need to.

Enabling users is a two-step process. First, you invite them to the org in the

FactoryTalk Hub

UI. Then, after they’ve accepted, you use the

FactoryTalk DataMosaix SaaS

Management Console to give them an appropriate role. Without a role, they will be unable to get into

FactoryTalk DataMosaix SaaS

and will get a lock icon that says No content available.
