Manage Project Members

Project administrators can manage all project members and their respective properties from the Members tool in Project Administration. Properties include the:

• Company
• Role
• Access level
• Product access

Member Statuses

There are three member statuses that can appear in the members tools:

• Active: Members that have been invited and have accessed a product.
• Invited: An invitation has been sent but they haven't accessed a product yet.
• Not invited: If a member appears as "Not invited" they have been added to the account but not invited to any projects. Not invited appears only in Account Admin.

Add Members

There are two ways to add members; the default way is more flexible and the legacy method can be slightly faster. Once you have entered emails, the default allows you to assign individuals different companies and roles.

Default Add Members

1. Click Members from the left navigation to open the Members tool. The Members tool exists in all products except Insight.

2. Click Add members.

3. Enter an email address for the members or paste in a list of email addresses separated by commas, tabs, spaces, or semicolons.

   

4. Click Enter to add the members to the member table.

   

5. Optionally, if name fields are empty, you can enter the member's first and last name. These will be suggested when they are creating their profile.

6. Select a Company and Role for each member. The company and role can be used to quickly apply permissions to members.

   Note: Roles update the access level selection. You can manually change the access level after selecting a role.

7. Choose the access level for the members.

   • Project member: Members are added as project members with View access unless otherwise defined based on the role.
   • Project administrator: Members are given administrative access to the project, enabling the creation and managing of projects.

8. Choose the Product access level for the members to control what products the members can use:

   • Build
   • Cost
   • Design Collaboration
   • Model Coordination
   • Takeoff
   • AutoSpecs
   Note: Accesses to Docs and Insight are provided by default.
