Wouldn\u2019t it be nice to have one less password to worry about? We\u2019ve made it easier for admins on all Autodesk plans to do exactly this. With single sign-on (SSO)<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>you can maintain one email\/password combo per user. For our Premium admins, you can take the benefits of SSO even further by combining it with directory sync<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>\u2013 so you can manage users across your organization and<\/em> Autodesk’s user management platform at the same time, directly from your organization\u2019s directory groups.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Single sign-on <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one likes to keep track of too many passwords. With SSO, users can access Autodesk products and services with the same email and password they use to sign into your organization, giving them one less password to remember.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Password policies applied to your organization are also applied across all Autodesk products and services, so if users are already signed into your organization, they won\u2019t need to sign in again to access Autodesk \u2013 nice and easy for both you and your users! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there are any permission changes within your organization, these changes will automatically be applied to Autodesk access too. For example, if an employee\u2019s email access is revoked, they will also lose access to Autodesk \u2013 saving you time from having to change permissions manually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directory sync<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a Premium admin, enable directory sync to keep user details synchronized with your organization\u2019s user directory. With automated syncing between your organization\u2019s directory groups and Autodesk teams, user details stay current across Autodesk products and services.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Autodesk access can also be managed within your organization\u2019s user directory. Premium admins can fully automate user invites, removals, and product assignments using directory sync. You don\u2019t have to send manual invitations to add users to Autodesk teams anymore, and you can remove users from synced groups \u2013all from your organization\u2019s directory.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using directory sync with SSO lets you unlock new value for your business<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining the automation of directory sync with the security of SSO ensures user account information is consistent across multiple directories. With directory sync, you can eliminate assigning subscriptions manually, reduce inactive licenses, and optimize security.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using these two technologies together helps organizations:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
