Add Assets to Users and Groups

Before You Begin

You must be logged into Predix Essentials as a User Admin. You must first add users or user groups before adding assets.

About This Task

You can either add individual assets to each user or add assets to a user group and then add users to that user group. Use the latter technique to quickly assign a group of users to access the same set of assets. You can also assign users or user groups to any level in the context browser. For example, assigning an Enterprise gives the user access to all levels (sites, segments, and assets) within that Enterprise.
