- [ Narrator ] Once you've set up your BIM 360 account, it's
a good idea to think about how you want to administer it.
Now, if you're in a very small firm, you might
be fine with just having a single account administrator.
But it can be a good idea
to think about having at least a second person
that can fulfill that role, just in case, the need arises,
it's possible that your admin person could
be out on vacation or they could be out sick
or perhaps they leave the firm
and you don't want to be in a situation
where you can't get admin access to your account.
So adding a second admin user is
a pretty good idea and certainly
if you're in a larger firm,
it's not only a good idea to have
a second user, perhaps more than two users so
that you can divide up
the duties of the admin role.
So to add a new admin user is fairly simple.
What we need to do is log into our account so I'm here
on the main BIM 360 page,
and I'll just simply click login,
then sign in here, input my username and password
and then sign in.
So this takes me to
the account admin page for my site
and we are on the project directory initially.
You can see here, this Projects tab,
and there are several other tabs across the top here.
So if I click over here to
the members tab, you can see
that my account currently includes a single user,
and that user is my single admin user as well.
So you can see Zachary here who set up
the account is automatically my default admin user.
Now, I could add additional admin users
in one of two ways.
One way would be to use this add drop down here
and to invite account admins.
So when I choose that, I will get a window
that pops up here and I simply type in
the email address of the person whom I would like to add.
So let's say I've typed in an email address here
and I'll press Enter to accept that, notice
that I'm still in the field,
and if I want, I could type in additional email addresses,
so if you have two or three or four people
that you want to add as admins, you
can add them all at one time.
I'll click Add, it will suggest the same company
that we're currently in,
which I think makes sense here,
and then you can give a default role to this person,
so maybe this person is a BIM manager,
so I will go ahead and choose that role,
and then we will invite them.
So it'll say that this user has been added
to this account, and you can see
that their status is listed as active right here.
Now another way that you can add admin users
or remove admin users is to come over here
to the Settings tab.
When you click on settings, you will see
the overall settings for the account itself
and you can see the account administrators listed right here
and currently it's Zachary and Chad.
Now there's a plus sign right here
and I could click that,
and this is another way
that I could add additional admin users.
So in this case, I'm going to invite myself.
After you type in the email, it will validate it,
and then you can simply click Save.
And that will add myself there, in
this case as an additional admin user,
and then I could continue adding additional admin users in
the same way or I could click Cancel if I'm done.
So that just gives you an alternative way
to add another admin user,
and if I come back over here to members, you
can see that I'm now listed among
the other members, and my status is also listed as active.
Now, if I come back here to settings, let's say
that Chad no longer works at the company
or he's taking on a different role in
the company and we don't want him to be
an admin for this account any longer.
It's as simple as clicking this little x right here
and that will remove him as an admin,
but he still remains here on the member directory,
so he could still be part
of projects, he's just no longer an account admin.
So if you wanted to permanently remove him from
the project entirely, then you would click
on his username, and you could click
the Delete member option right here,
and that would completely remove him from the project.
So if Chad no longer works at the company anymore,
and you want to remove him entirely,
that's how you would do that.
So whether you're adding admin users or removing them,
it's pretty simple to do so with a couple clicks here
in your account admin.
I do recommend having at least two admin users, I think
in most firms, but as I say it is not required
and if you're a smaller firm
and you're content with a single admin user,
then you are certainly welcome to do so.
