About Account Administration and Project Administration

Project administrators can invite, edit, and remove project members.

BIM 360 has two levels of administration to ensure security and control across your projects:

• Account administration. The account administrator manages account-level settings and directories, and all project information that spans the project lifecycle. Account administrators have visibility across projects, users, and companies throughout BIM 360. Account administrators are typically IT managers in the organization.
• Project administration. Each BIM 360 service, such as BIM 360 Field, also has project-level administration. Any product-specific administration (such as adding users) falls to project administrators. They can see all information related to their project, but not information about other projects. Project administrators are typically project managers or superintendents for local projects.

Account Administration

The account administrator creates and edits projects used across all BIM 360 web services. They have broad privileges, including the following:

• Create or delete projects
• Change an account administrator’s permissions
• Grant account administrator rights
• Assign business units, add companies, and review project metrics

BIM 360 Field Project Administration

Companies with multiple projects can delegate responsibility for securely managing users and access on a project-by-project basis. As a project administrator, you can manage only those projects that you have access to. One project can have several administrators.

Project administrators can copy an existing BIM 360 Field project to set up their project and invite other project administrators to the project. They can see all information related to their project, but not information about other projects.

Note: Project administrators cannot create projects. The account administrator must first create the project and designate you as a project administrator.

The following table shows allowed and denied privileges for project administrators.
