Question

Giving permission to system object Stream in composer

Hi

I'm creating a new user in the Thingworx Composer with no permissions, I want to give that user a small set of things it can see, as that user will be querying the API. I want to give this user permission to see the Stream system object ThingTemplates and read and run services on it, what is the best way to do it? If it is at all possible.

Thank you in advance.

1. Create a group to represent this / these type(s) of user

2. Create an Organization and assign the group to it.

3. Figure out what API calls that user is going to make

4. Based on that assign the Org to the Things it needs to see or Instance Permissions on a Template (I don't think your user needs to call services directly on a Template?)

5. Create Override Runtime permission(s) to run the necessary service(s)

Hi @fsiviero,

 

Under the heading ThingTemplates you need to select the "Advanced" button and then check the box next to "Show System Objects" as in the below screenshot.

Then the system object template called "Stream" is visible and you can set the permissions as is required and described by @PaiChung.
