Configure Trimble ID Managed User Logins

Managed Trimble ID users have credentials managed directly through the Vista Web portal and do not have a company email address. Set up your web portal and configure your users so they can sign in using managed Trimble ID credentials.

You must be a System Admin in order to complete these steps.
To use Trimble ID, your organization must meet the following requirements:
  • You are a Trimble Construction One cloud customer
  • You are on a compatible Vista Web version:
    • For native Trimble ID users: Vista Web 25.2 or higher
    • For managed Trimble ID users: Vista Web 25.8.434 or higher
  • You are on Vista 2024 R1 or higher
  • You have Trimble ID enabled in Vista. This requires flipping a switch on the Vista backend. Our migration team will complete this step.

To configure managed users:

  1. In Vista Web, configure portal settings for Trimble ID managed users. Go to Admin > Portal Settings > Security / Login.
    1. Expand the Single Sign On section, and select the checkbox for Enable SSO through TC1 login. This setting enables the Sign In with Trimble ID option on the login page.
    2. In the General Configuration section, for the TID Notification Preferences setting, choose the communication method to notify your users when connecting their Trimble ID account to their portal profile. Choose between:
      • E: Email only – default value
      • S: SMS only (via Twilio)
      • ES: Email if populated, SMS secondary (via Twilio)
      • SE: SMS if populated (via Twilio), email secondary
      Note: SMS will work only if you have a Twilio integration.
    3. To have the portal automatically generate user names for your new managed users, choose a naming pattern in the setting TID Managed Users Auto-Naming Pattern.
      • No Auto Assignment (Default): The system won't automatically generate a name, admins must manually enter one
      • FirstName_LastName: Creates a user name by combining the employee's first and last names, separated by an underscore (example: Charlie_Day)
      • PhoneNumber: The user name is the employee's phone number
      • SortName: The system uses the employee's SortName value
      • Employee Number: The user name is the employee's unique Employee Number.
        Note: This option does not currently auto-generate usernames if you use the import template to bulk assign managed users.
  2. Set up your managed users as PR Employee Users in Vista. Users must be set up as PR Employees in Vista before you can assign them as managed users in the portal.
    1. In Vista, go to PR Employees.
    2. Create a new user with a new Employee number. Add their Last Name, First Name, and other required fields.
    3. Save the record.
  3. Go back to the Vista Web portal to see these users on the User Access page.

  4. Assign managed users Vista Web licenses and access to modules. For details, see Assign Users Access to Modules.

    If you assign managed users but do not assign module access, users will be able to log in but won’t see anything in the portal. An admin must provision licenses and assign access for managed users to be able to use the portal.

If it hasn't been done already, Create a Unique Short Code for Your Vista Web Portal. This code will become the prefix of your managed users' usernames.
If your portal already has a short code set up, you can start assigning managed users:
