Lock-down with Autodesk BIM 360 Design – Account Administration

This blog follows on from the earlier one on how to sign up for the BIM 360 Design Trial.

If you just started your trial of BIM 360, then you are afforded the role of Account Administrator. This means you can set up Companies, Roles, Membership and so on. You may even invite another person running the BIM 360 Design trial to join as an Account Administrator.

To start, log into BIM 360 (click on the picture to follow the link)

Next, create some users. Note, it is possible to add new members to the account from within a project, but then the default Company and Role is not assigned as if one were to create the user in Account Admin and one would have to edit the user definitions in account admin later to redefine them.

Go to the Members tab and click on “Add” and then “Add people to the member directory”.

Note, if there are many users that need to be imported into the account, then rather import by spreadsheet.
