Hub administration

Hub administration is your control center for managing settings and team collaboration in Fusion. You decide who can join, what roles they have, and how they work together. As a hub admin, you can control:

• Hub name
• Access
• Members, roles, and groups
• Sharing permissions

Member management includes:

• Inviting members to the hub
• Changing a hub member's role
• Deactivating or activating a hub member
• Organizing members with groups

Autodesk account primary admin

The person who purchases Fusion and licenses for your organization is known as the primary admin in Autodesk account. This person can also create a hub for Fusion and decide who else can create a hub. To allow another person in the organization to create a hub, the admin can assign them specific permissions. You can make that person a hub admin or an Autodesk account SSO admin.

For more information about user and subscription management, see User management overview.

Roles

You can have members with different permissions or roles in the hub.

Roles are applicable at two levels: Hub and Projects. A role determines what a member can do in the hub. Likewise, project roles determine what a member can do within a project.

There are three roles available in the hub:

• Hub admin
• Member
• Project contributor

Your hub role determines:

• If you can create projects
• The type of projects you can view, access, and join
• If you can perform administrative tasks in the hub or within a project

When you invite a user to a hub, they are given the role of member. If you invite a member to a project or a project folder, they are given the project contributor role.

Project contributors

Project contributors can do the following within a project:

• Work with content based on their project role
• Invite users to a project

Project contributors can't:

• View, access, or join other projects
• Create projects
• View projects they are not part of
• Create groups or transfer projects, even if promoted to the role of project admin

Members

In addition to everything project contributors can do, members can also:

• Request to join projects they are not a member of
• Create projects in the hub
• Invite users to projects
• Work in projects based on their project role

Groups

Groups let you organize members within a hub to simplify management and collaboration. You might create a group when:

• You have members, hub admins, or project contributors who share specific responsibilities or tasks.
• You need to reduce the number of members to stay under the 500-member project limit. Each group counts as one member, no matter how many people it includes.

Only hub admins can create and manage groups in the Fusion web client:

• Each group must have a unique name
• Groups can't be nested inside other groups
• Inactive members can't be added to groups
• System groups (Everyone and Admins) can't be modified

Groups created at the hub level can be added to projects to grant members access. Groups created at the project level also appear in the hub's group list.
