Account Administrators

Account administrators control account settings, create and manage projects, activate services, and manage member permissions and company data.

To get up and running as an account administrator, you need to activate the account via an email invitation sent when a BIM 360 subscription is created.

If you're the first account administrator, you'll receive a welcome email from Autodesk containing a link to activate your account. If you haven't received or can't find the email, use this activation link. Sign in with your Autodesk ID or create an account to get started. For more details, see Activate Your Account.

Once you activate your account, you can begin to manage account level details, projects, companies and members from the Account Admin module of BIM 360. You can also access BIM 360 directly from https://admin.b360.autodesk.com/login (US data center) or https://admin.b360.eu.autodesk.com/login (European data center).
