I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.2 and Datecode with CPS 11.2.1.16

Hello,
I accidentally remove wcadmin admin privilege and non on my Engineers are able to check - in their drawing into windchill
I'm not sure if these two issue are related,

Can you please get the admin privilege back to wcadmin account and take a look at the check-in issue

Are you using WindchillDS or another LDAP for your user authentication?

Do you have a backup of your authorization files that could be restored to recover the settings?

Do you have a DB administrator who can look in the DB and see what the permissions are for the wcadmin user and possibly reset them that way?

Not sure why there is a connection between the wcadmin account and your user's ability to check-in work to Windchill.

Try this.

Temporarily disable permissions

xconfmanager -s wt.access.enforce=false -t codebase/wt.properties -p

Restart Windchill

Login as wcadmin and remove wcadmin from ALL license groups.

Reset the property

xconfmanager --reset wt.access.enforce -p

Restart Windchill
