Autodesk Admin roles

Modified on Thu, 27 Mar at 4:27 PM

As an admin, you assign users to products and services under the User management function of Autodesk Account. User management includes three types of administrative roles:


Primary admin

  • A team can have only one primary admin. 
  • The same person can serve as the primary admin for more than one team. 
  • The role of primary admin can be reassigned to another person who has the role of secondary admin.


Secondary admin

  • A team can have multiple secondary admins.
  • Secondary admins are assigned by the primary admin, by another secondary admin, or by an SSO admin.
  • Secondary admins have visibility to:
    • Manages users and their access to products
    • Assigns additional secondary admins and can reassign the primary admin
    • Views and exports product usage reports for all teams


Single sign-on (SSO) admin

  • A team can have multiple SSO admins.
  • SSO admins can manage an SSO configuration (as can the primary admin).
