Bricsys 24/7 panel
To open the Bricsys 24/7 panel, right-click a ribbon panel/toolbar and choose Bricsys 24/7 from the Panels list.
The Bricsys 24/7 panel helps team members to find and share their drawings.
Bricsys 24/7 enables project management, a collaboration between project teams, cloud computing security and task automation. The big advantage of this cloud-based service is that BricsCAD is directly linked to it by the Bricsys 24/7 panel.
On certain environments, the Bricsys 24/7 panel supports Single Sign On (SSO).
The CLOUDSSOCLIENTID system variable stores the client_id to be used when connecting to SSO service.
The CLOUDSSOSCOPE system variable stores the scopes or permissions to be used when connecting to SSO service. It depends on the authorization server for a given Bricsys 24/7 service (what scopes are configured/allowed for the client). For example, Azure AD requires an explicit client id on the scope parameter, like <client id>/access_as_user openid.
On servers like https:/my.bricsys247.com/, with default scope settings, the log in appears as described below.
By clicking Change, the Settings dialog box is opened at the CLOUDSERVER system variable to specify another address of the Bricsys 24/7 server. For other certain environments, like https://pellikaan.bricsys247.com/, that does not support SSO at this moment, the log in will appear as described below.
