As an admin, you assign users to products and services under the User management function of Autodesk Account.
00:11
User management includes four types of administrative roles.
00:14
The primary admin manages users and their access to products,
00:19
assigns secondary admins and SSO admins,
00:22
and can reassign another secondary admin to become primary admin.
00:27
Primary admins can manage a single sign-on (SSO) configuration, which serves as a main point of contact to Autodesk.
00:35
A team can have only one primary admin, and that same person can serve as the primary admin for more than one team.
00:42
By default, the initial purchaser—also known as the contract manager—takes on the role of primary admin.
00:49
The role of primary admin can be reassigned to another person who has the role of secondary admin.
00:55
The contract manager receives notification emails relating to a subscription or contract,
01:01
manages billing and renewals, assigns new subscriptions to a team,
01:06
moves subscriptions to a different team (note that this requires also holding a primary or secondary admin role),
01:13
and serves as a main point of contact to Autodesk.
01:16
By default, the initial purchaser of the license becomes the contract manager.
01:21
There is only one contract manager per subscription or contract.
01:26
The same person can be contract manager for multiple subscriptions or contracts.
01:31
The role of contract manager can be reassigned for licenses purchased through resellers,
01:36
but not for licenses purchased from the Autodesk store.
01:40
The secondary admin manages users and their access to products,
01:45
assigns additional secondary admins and can reassign the primary admin,
01:50
manages billing and renewals (please note that this requires also holding a contract manager role),
01:56
and views and exports product usage reports for all teams.
02:01
A team can have multiple secondary admins.
02:04
Secondary admins are assigned by the primary admin, by another secondary admin,
02:09
or by an SSO admin.
02:11
Secondary admins have visibility into users and products of the team to which they are assigned.
02:18
The single sign-on (SSO) admin manages users and their access to products,
02:24
assigns additional secondary admins and can reassign the primary admin,
02:29
and views and exports product usage reports for all teams within single user subscriptions
02:34
and Flex (note that this excludes Token Flex).
02:38
A team can have multiple SSO admins.
02:42
SSO admins can manage an SSO configuration (as can the primary admin).
02:48
Understanding the different roles of account admins allows you to streamline your workflows and optimize task delegation.
