The Connect Admin module allows users to view all administrative information related to your Connect account, while administrators also have the ability to edit certain information.

Administrators and users

For a new Connect account, BMSvision creates at least one user who is designated as the company administrator, and, if agreed with the customer, additional users may also be added. The company administrator has access to all subscriptions.

The company administrator’s initial tasks are (if not already completed by BMSvision):

  • Add users to the subscriptions. See Managing users for instructions.
  • Optionally change a normal user into a subscription administrator and vice versa. See Managing users for instructions.


A subscription administrator is the administrator who is responsible for a subscription. There can be more than one such administrator per subscription. The subscription administrator’s tasks are:


Normal users can view information, but cannot make changes.


Note: Company administrators can also sign terms and conditions and manage users of all subscriptions.

Companies and subscriptions

Most Connect accounts have one Company with one Subscription.

International customers can have multiple companies for their different production plants, or a different subscription per plant. A company can also have multiple subscriptions to separate different production workgroups, machine types, or for a subscription for testing purposes.
