As an admin, you assign users to products and services under the User management function of Autodesk account. User management includes four types of administrative roles:
Note: If you manage users under Classic user management in Autodesk account, the primary admin role is performed by the contract manager and the role of secondary admins is performed by software coordinators. To learn more, see Classic user management.
View the video at the end of this article to help complete your understanding of admin roles.
Primary admin
Contract manager
Secondary admin
SSO admin
Change the primary admin
When you change the primary admin, the former primary admin becomes a secondary admin.
Note: Reassigning the primary admin role doesn’t change the contract manager, who continues to manage payments and renewals, and receive subscription emails, renewal reminders, and invoices.
Change the contract manager
The role of contract manager can be reassigned for licenses purchased through resellers but not for licenses purchased from the Autodesk store. Only the current contract manager can transfer a new person to the role of contract manager. To do so, the current contract manager uses the following interactive form.
Change a secondary admin
Change an SSO admin
Admins can also change roles for more than one user at a time. Select users directly in the list or upload a CSV file to update multiple roles at once.
Option 1: Multi-select
Option 2: CSV upload
Note: You can use CSV upload to change roles to secondary admin, SSO admin, user, or external user. You can't use CSV upload to change the primary admin. To change a primary admin, use the Change the primary admin process.
