Getting started with AWS IoT SiteWise Monitor - AWS IoT SiteWise

Getting started with AWS IoT SiteWise Monitor

If you're the AWS administrator for your organization, you create portals from the AWS IoT SiteWise console. Complete the following steps to create a portal so that members of your organization can view your AWS IoT SiteWise data:

  1. Configure and create a portal

  2. Add portal administrators and send invitation emails

  3. Add portal users

After you create a portal, the portal administrator can view your AWS IoT SiteWise assets and assign them to projects in the portal. Project owners can then create dashboards to visualize the properties of the assets that help project viewers understand how your devices, processes, and equipment are performing.

Note

When adding users or administrators to the portal, avoid creating AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies that restrict user permissions, such as limited IP. Any attached policies with restricted permissions will not be able to connect to the AWS IoT SiteWise portal.

You can follow a tutorial that walks through the steps required to set up a portal with a project, dashboards, and multiple users for a specific scenario using wind farm data. For more information, see Visualizing and sharing wind farm data in SiteWise Monitor.
