Issue Description
How do I link current BIMcloud user accounts to their GSID for streamlined login and access?
Solution
To connect an existing BIMcloud user to a Graphisoft GSID (Graphisoft ID), follow these steps:
Log into BIMcloud Manager:
-
- Open your BIMcloud Manager through a web browser and log in with your admin credentials.
Go to User Management:
-
- Navigate to the "Users" section, typically found under "Management" or "User Management" in the left-hand menu.
Select the Existing User:
-
- Find the user you want to connect to a Graphisoft ID (GSID) from the list of users.
- Click on the user to open their details.
Assign Graphisoft ID:
-
- In the user’s profile, look for an option labeled "Graphisoft ID" or "GSID."
- Enter the user’s Graphisoft ID email address in this field. This email address must be the same as the one registered for their Graphisoft ID.
Send Invitation or Connect:
-
- Depending on the setup, you may need to send an invitation to the user's email address to verify the connection.
- Alternatively, if the GSID is recognized, the connection may happen immediately.
-
After inviting a user to join your BIMcloud via GSID, you can view the invitation status and expiration date in the User Settings. The invitation will display as "Pending" until the user accepts it. If the invitation is not accepted within 7 days, it will automatically expire. To manage the invitation, you can either resend or cancel it from the same User Settings page before the expiration.
Save the Changes:
-
- After entering the GSID, save the changes to the user profile.
Confirmation:
-
- The user should receive a confirmation email if any additional steps are required. Once they accept, their BIMcloud user account will be linked to their Graphisoft ID.
By completing this process, the existing BIMcloud user will now be connected to their Graphisoft ID, enabling features like single sign-on (SSO) for easier access to BIMcloud services.
