Unable to Create New Product in Windchill 13.0

Hello Everyone,

 

I am currently using Windchill 13.0 and trying to create a new product.

 

When I navigate to Recent Products -> View All, I don't see a "New Product" button, only an "Add to Favorites" option.

 

I've tried this with my administrator account as well as a user account that I've added to the Product Creator group, but still no success.

 

Can anyone help me with this issue? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you!

Hi @saood 

A user has to be added to a Product Creator group on the organization or has to be administrator.  

 

One very important point in this part is that the user even admin has to be assigned to the organization and also the email address has to be configured for that user

 

Also correct license group with correct profile should be assigned. .

Just a heads up, as pointed out by @HelesicPetr  the correct license group and profiles are also needed. The method mentioned in the solution matches the one I found in the documentation, but because I lack proper license add ons, it was not working for me

Another point to remember. The user you intend to create the Library or Product container needs to be created at the Org level and not at the Site level.

Hi @MikeP. 

The user can be created on the site level. you just need to assign the organization domain to that user. 

That's all.
