Ansys ID Portal user management for administrators
Overview
This section is for administrators who manage organizations in the Ansys ID Portal, including users, groups, and access to Ansys products and licenses.
You can organize users and control access through accounts and groups:
Accounts represent your organization and define access to Ansys entitlements.
Groups allow more granular management of users for specific products, license pools, or features.
The Portal can also integrate with external identity providers to keep user access aligned with your organization’s identity system. For example, you can sync group membership from an identity provider to update users in the Portal. These integrations typically rely on external APIs and may be one-way, meaning changes made outside the Portal can overwrite manual updates.
The sync tools use the Ansys ID Portal API and require a Personal Access Token (PAT) for a user who belongs to the target account and holds an ASC or Customer Administrator role. PATs are managed at id.ansys.com. For more details, see the Ansys ID SSO documentation.
