Understand Autodesk Account Groups

Teams can be used to organize your subscription and usage data across larger organizations. If you are also looking for ways to organize users and assignments, consider using groups.

Groups allow you to organize and assign products to multiple people at one time. Instead of assigning your users to products one by one, you can organize users into groups and manage them by role such that each group is assigned access to the same products.

For example, if you created an architects group, you could assign AutoCAD and Revit to the group. A civil engineers group could be assigned Civil 3D and Navisworks Manage.

A few things to keep in mind when working with groups:

• It is not possible to add Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) or ShotGrid offerings to groups.
• When assigning products to a group, you must have enough seats available for all the members of the group.
• You can assign groups to guest users in user details.
• If a group member was individually assigned to a product, an extra seat is not assigned with the group. Only one seat is consumed per user.

Groups vs. Teams

Groups are not the same as teams. Every organization has at least one team in Autodesk Account. Multiple teams help larger organizations manage subscription contracts and data. Groups are not shared between different teams. If you have groups with the same name in different teams, the groups are managed separately.
