How Do I Manage My Planview Application Environments?
Administrators can use the Products tab of Planview Platform Administration (Platform Admin) to manage the Planview application environments that have been added to Platform Admin, including the following tasks:
- Adding an application environment
- Enabling or disabling Planview ID for an environment
- Synchronizing users for an environment
- Viewing user mappings for an environment
- Mapping and unmapping users in an environment
- Moving users you do not want to map off the unmapped users list or back onto the unmapped users list
- Editing a product tile description
- Removing an environment from Platform Admin

Why Should I Map Users for an Application Environment?
When Platform Admin synchronizes users, it uses matching email addresses to map the users listed in the Users tab to the users synchronized from each application environment. However, if a user has different email addresses that they use to sign in to each environment, they will not be able to sign in to all environments using single sign-on (SSO). Therefore, an administrator should align those email addresses by manually mapping any unmapped users before enabling SSO.
Adding a Planview Application Environment
Administrators can add application tiles for supported Planview applications into Platform Admin. You can add both production and sandbox environments, and you can add multiple tiles for each Planview application. When you add a application tile, Platform Admin will automatically import the user list for the linked application environment.
NOTES
- To add a Planview application environment to Platform Admin, you must also be an administrator in that Planview application environment.
- The email address you used to sign in to Platform Admin must match the email address you use to sign in as an administrator in the Planview application environment you are adding.
- Log in to Planview Admin at https://id.planview.com
- You will see the admin console, shown below.
- Click the Products tab.
- In the Add Another Planview Product section, click Add Product on the Application tile you want to add.
The Products tab with no product tiles added
- On the Add Product Instance to Planview ID screen, enter the URL for the Planview application environment you are adding.
-
Click Add.
-
On the screen that appears, enter the password that matches the email address you used to register with Platform Admin to confirm that you are an administrator.
-
Click Save.
Platform Admin automatically imports the users for the application environment and adds the tile for the application environment in the Our Products section.
NOTE
-
Importing users can take up to an hour to complete.
-
For Enterprise One, Make sure to be logged out before adding an environment. and during step 7 to select which environment you are trying to add when entering your password
-
-
Audit the user list for the application environment you added to find any unmapped users, then map those users or move them to the ignored list. You can now also activate Planview ID for the environment.
Activating and Deactivating Planview ID for an Application Environment
To activate Planview ID for an application environment:
- Click the Products tab.
- On the product tile for the application environment you want, click Manage Product or

Synchronizing Users
When a Planview application environment is added to Platform Admin, the user list is automatically imported within an hour. PV Admin will automatically sync between applications and PV Admin every hour but can also manually run a user sync. Administrators can also view the logged details of the most recent user synchronization.
