User Access Levels

Many Autodesk for Government capabilities are governed by permissions according to your user access level.

Understanding the capabilities of each access level and how they interact is important to learning the software. At a high level, there are three main user access levels to consider:

Account administrators are responsible for activating the account, controlling the account settings, creating projects, and inviting project administrators. Project administrators are responsible for controlling the project settings and inviting project members. Non-admin members, commonly referred to as members, don't have access to any administrative functions in the product.

It is also important to understand the relationship between these user access levels as it relates to the process of setting up the account, setting up projects, and using the many functions of the software.

While this workflow represents the primary flow from account administrator to project administrator to members, there can be exceptions. For example, account administrators can add any member type to the account at any point in the workflow. This diagram is simply meant to represent the most common workflow for setting up new accounts and projects.
