Inviting administrators
To get started in your new portal, you must assign a portal administrator. The portal
administrator creates projects, chooses project owners, and assigns assets to projects.
Portal administrators can see all of your Amazon IoT SiteWise assets.
Based on the user authentication service, choose one of the following options:
- IAM
-
You can choose a user or role to be the portal administrator. If you want
to add another user or role as a portal administrator, you can create a user or
role in the IAM console. For more information, see Creating an IAM user in your Amazon
account and Creating IAM
roles in the IAM User Guide.
To invite administrators
-
Do the following:
-
Select the check boxes for the users or roles that you want as your portal
administrators. This adds the users or roles to the Portal
administrators list.
-
If you add a user or role that you don't want as an administrator, clear the
check box for that user or role.
-
When you're finished inviting portal administrators, choose
Next.
Users or roles must have the iotsitewise:DescribePortal
permission to sign in to the portal.
If you use IAM Identity Center as your identity store, and you're signed in to your Amazon Organizations
management account, you can choose Create user to create an IAM Identity Center user. IAM Identity Center sends the
new user an email for them to set their password. You can then assign the user to the portal as an administrator. For more information, see
Manage identities in IAM Identity Center.
You can change the list of portal administrators later. For more information, see Adding or removing portal administrators.
Because only a portal administrator can create projects and assign assets to them, you
should specify at least one portal administrator.
As the last step, you add users who can access your new portal.
