Autodesk Account: managing groups

Groups give you the ability to manage and assign products to multiple users at the same time. Organising users into groups means you do not have to assign users to products one by one and you can place people in groups according to their roles and the products they need to access. For example, a group of structural steel engineers may be assigned Advance Steel or a group of architects may be assigned Revit.

Note: Groups are not supported in classic user management and are not available in Autodesk Construction Cloud or Shot Grid at this point.

The Difference Between Groups and Teams

Groups and teams have different functions and are not the same thing. Each organisation has at least one team and multiple teams assist large organisations to manage subscription contracts and data. Groups are not shared between different teams, if you have a group with the same name across different teams, these groups are managed separately.

Create a Group:

1. Sign into your Autodesk Account at manage.autodesk.com. In the left navigation menu click User Management > By Group.
2. Select Create Group.
3. Once you have entered the group name click Create group.

Note: Once a group has been created you can add users and assign products.

Add Users to a Group:

1. Sign into your Autodesk Account at manage.autodesk.com. In the left navigation menu click User Management > By Group.
2. Select the relevant group.
3. Click Add Users.
4. Use the search box to find users via name or email address (if you have a large team).
5. Select user/s and select Done.

Note: Only existing users can be added to a group, but when adding a user you can assign them to an existing group. Learn more here.

Assign Products to Users in a Group:

Note: You must have enough seats available for every member of a group when assigning products.

1. Sign into your Autodesk Account at manage.autodesk.com. In the left navigation menu click User Management > By Group.
2. Select the relevant group.
3. Click the Assignments tab.
4. Locate the product you would like to allocate and click Assign.

Note: If group members have already been assigned products individually, another seat will not be assigned to the group as only one seat is ever assigned per user.

Rename a Group:

1. Sign into your Autodesk Account at manage.autodesk.com. In the left navigation menu click User Management > By Group.
2. Select the relevant group.
3. Navigate to Actions and select Rename Group.
4. Enter the new group name and select Save Changes.

Delete a Group:

1. Sign into your Autodesk Account at manage.autodesk.com. In the left navigation menu click User Management > By Group.

3. Navigate to Actions and select Delete Group.
