Impact for Subscribers | multi -users

Autodesk Account now has a new view
CM – Controls billing – usually the same person as the primary admin
PA – Primary admins can assign users to software and services in Autodesk Account where users are managed in the new view.
SA – The secondary admin is assigned by the primary admin, or another secondary admin, to help manage users and their access to software.
User – The person who is using the software
Changes to your current Autodesk Account set -up
– admin changes are now
managed by the end-user
– only the designated contract manager will receive billing notices
– if the primary admin needs to receive the billing information, a change must be done
– serial numbers are no longer required for a customer to activate
– we now use subscription id as an identifier and for organisation .
How do I know if the customer is the CM of the primary admin?
- in most instances, the CM and the primary admin are the same
- it is recommended to adds secondary admin instead of changing the primary admin
- The CM will not be changed in the system unless it is manually done so by partners or client services through normal practices.
