Access and permissions
Good day
I am new to Windchill and I have the following question.
If I login as wcadmin then I am able to create a new part, set the attributes etc.
If I login as a user then that option is not available.
What permissions do I need to set to allow that user or users access to create a part.
Regards

Hi!
This might be a good place to get started: https://support.ptc.com/help/wnc/r12.1.1.0/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/policyadmin/PolicyAdminPermissionAbout.html
At a high level, you would have Roles in a Context (i.e. Product or Library). Assign users to the appropriate Roles.
You define Access Control Lists (ACLs) for the Roles across the different Contexts. See: https://support.ptc.com/help/wnc/r12.1.1.0/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/accesscontrol_chp/AccessControlChp_HowACLsWork.html
The user should get the access granted by the Role in the Context. So, if they are in a Role that is configured to allow creating parts, they should be able to do so.
Hope that helps!

Adding to Joe's response:
Please note you have to consider assigning appropriate/role-complimenting user license to enable the capabilities in UI. Refer Site--Utilities--License Management for more details. They have the license and capability mapping on the information pages of each license.
User licensing is introduced from 11.1. If you are working on earlier versions, dont have to worry about it and just check the container team setup and ACLs.
