Permissions
November 2021
Administrator users can now configure user roles and access permissions in IT Expert based on locations and group membership on the new Administration > Groups tab.
User roles are Administrator, Editor, and Viewer.
Permissions known issues
-
Viewer access to the Alarms and Active Lifespan Alarms assessments is available only when the Viewer user has permissions for all locations.
-
Editors and Viewers can export assessments to CSV only when the user has permissions for all locations.
-
Alarms can be assigned to anyone in the organization including assignees who may not have permission to view them.
-
When All locations is selected, the contact list for the entire organization is displayed even though the user may not have access to the entire organization.
-
Asset Advisor customers get a daily push notification to the EcoStruxure IT app with information about new tickets and the number of alarms in the entire organization regardless of user role and permissions.
- SSO users configured manually before the ITE SSO feature was introduced must now send information for group(s) including Users (non-admins).
Add sensor plots to dashboards
October 2021
You can now add a sensor plot directly to a dashboard from the sensor plotting page.
Add the sensor plot to an existing dashboard (based on your current location and permissions) or create a new dashboard and add the sensor plot to it.
Filter by phrase
September 2021
You can now use quotes to search and filter the list of sensors or thresholds by exact phrase.
Using quotes significantly narrows the returned results, making creating dashboards, creating thresholds, and running sensor graphs and reports much easier.
Searching without quotes returns many results:

Single Sign On (SSO)
Known issue fixed Oct 2021You can now log in to the EcoStruxure IT mobile app as expected after configuring SSO in ITE. |
August 2021
Administrator users can now configure SAML 2.0 single sign on (SSO) in IT Expert.
Any identity provider that supports the SAML protocol is supported.
Once you configure SSO, all users with an email address on one of the domains you specify must use your identity provider to log in to IT Expert. You can still use the IT Expert Administration > Users option to invite and manage users from email domains not using the domains you specify for SSO.
