Autodesk Account: adding and removing users

Adding users in Autodesk account:

To give users access to Autodesk software, add individuals or multiple users at a time in Autodesk Account. Once users have been invited, they will receive a link to create an account. They can then download products from their account.

An invite will need to be resent if a user does not accept within seven days and if the invite is not accepted within ninety days, you will need to add the user to Autodesk Account again.

Note: Users may be automatically added if you have Premium plan or SSO.

  1. Sign into your Autodesk Account at manage.autodesk.com. In the left navigation menu click User Management > By User. User Management will only appear if you are an admin.
  2. Click Invite users. If your users are organised by team, select the team from the drop-down list.
  3. Enter the user’s First name, Last name, and email address.
  4. Once you have clicked Send invite, the user’s account status will display as pending until the invitation is accepted. Important: users will not have access to products until they are assigned, learn about assigning users here.

Note: Click Invite multiple to add several users at once or click Import to import a list of users.

Bulk import users into Autodesk account:

Note: Users may be automatically added if you have Premium plan with SSO.

  1. Create a CSV file listing the users that need to be imported to Autodesk Account, add up to 5000 users. Make sure:
