I am a site administrator, and when I try to edit my profile and add myself to an organization the 'find' is greyed out. I am trying to create a product, but I am not a part of the organization, or an organization administrator so I am unable to create a product. I know I read somewhere also where you can set a setting to anyone can be a creator, so if someone knows where that is that would also be helpful. Windchill 12.1.2.0

    I am only on 12.0.2 so don't know yet if 12.1.2 changes anything. Doing the install now.

      So when I do that, for some reason I am unable to find myself to add to Org Admins. In order to add myself as an Org Admin, I have to go to the groups and add myself from there. But still, I am unable to find myself when I try to add myself as a creator

      You should create a product as org admin.

      So I am apparently an org admin, and the owner of the org. When I go to the products page it says I am not a member of any product, and I am not able to create a product.

      Are you in the ORG ADMIN group at the site level?

      This has been a major confusion for 20 years - and to my knowledge never really documented by PTC.

       

      wcadmin has to have an email address (can be anything with the correct format, like a.b@c.com).  This along with being added to the organization allows wcadmin to Create Products, etc.  Have to do this for every new install.
