Managing users from the software can be a job in itself, but Autodesk makes it easy with their step by step instructions.
You can add and remove users to your Autodesk Account by inviting them individually or in bulk, importing a list of users, or deleting a user. When adding users, they will receive a confirmation email and will not have access to products or services until they accept the invitation and are assigned. To remove users, you can delete them from your Autodesk Account, which removes their access to products and services. In some cases, you may also need to disable access to your collaboration sites and project data. Only primary, secondary, and SSO admins can remove users from Autodesk Account, and primary admins cannot be removed unless their administrative privileges are removed.
For each of the following procedures, first sign into Autodesk Account at manage.autodesk.com.
To add individual users:
Select User Management > By User in the navigation menu. Click Invite Users. If your users are organized by team, select the appropriate team from the drop-down list. Enter a user's first and last name and email address. Click Send Invite. A user’s account status will be pending until they accept the invitation. They won't have access to products or services until you assign them. If a user doesn't accept within seven days, resend the invitation. Note: If you have a Premium plan with SSO (Single Sign-On), users may be added automatically.
To import a list of users:
Prepare a CSV file containing up to 5,000 users you want to import. Provide a single row for each user. Provide three columns: First name, Last name, and Email address. Note: Users that already exist in your team are ignored. Select User Management > By User in the navigation menu. Click Invite Users. If your users are organized by team, select one from the drop-down list. Note: If you use classic user management, see Add users in classic user management. Select the Import tab and click Upload CSV File. You can continue working while the file is uploading. A notification displays when the import is complete. Note: Bulk assigned users don’t receive new assignment emails.
To remove users:
Primary, secondary, and SSO admins can remove users from Autodesk Account. Deleting a user removes their access to products and services, but it doesn’t delete their personal Autodesk Account.
Select User Management > By User (you will only see User Management if you are an admin). Select a user. Click the Remove User icon (by the user's contact information). In the confirmation window, click Remove User. Note: Primary admins cannot be removed unless their administrative privileges are removed. All admins can remove other secondary and SSO admins.
To remove users in bulk:
Starting in November 2022, you can select more than one user to remove from your team.
You cannot remove primary admins or users added from a directory sync (Premium plan). Removed users will lose access to products assigned by this team.
Sign in to your account at manage.autodesk.com and click User Management > By User. Click the checkbox to select one or more users. A banner displays to show how many users you have selected.
Click Remove From Team. In the confirmation window, click Remove. Note: At this time, the only bulk action available is to remove users.
Removing access to cloud collaboration sites For collaboration products, you may need to take additional steps to disable access to your collaboration sites and project data.
