Sources
To view and manage your data, you need to connect Smart Engineering Manager to an endpoint source. Each source has a URL that points to the Web Application hosted on a server. You can edit existing sources and add new sources. Once you have added and saved a new source, the relevant sites of that source are then loaded to the Sites page. You can then start working with the new sites, plants, and application data.

You must have a SuperAdmin role to be able to work with endpoint sources.
-
After logging in with your credentials, you will see only the sources for which you have permissions.

When using an Identity Provider to log in, Smart API Manager (SAM) restricts you from logging in from multiple groups to a single API. This impacts users working with Schema Management in Integrated mode and results in SDx sources being unusable because they are added in an unconnected state. For more information and details of how to resolve this issue, see Resolve added SDx endpoint sources in an unconnected state.
