BIM Viewer: User-by-User Authentication to ​Autodesk (UserVoice Idea)

In Archibus V.2022.03, users accessed the Archibus BIM Viewer using a single generic Autodesk BIM 360 account. Since many sites already have multiple Autodesk users accessing Construction Cloud and BIM 360 repositories, Archibus now supports individuals using their own Autodesk credentials to connect the BIM Viewer to their projects and models.

With user-by-user authentication, model visualization permissions are inherited from Autodesk Construction Cloud. This ensures that the BIM Viewer user can access only the models for which they have permission.

Sites whose users already have Autodesk BIM 360 accounts will find that setting user-by-user authentication leads to an easier set-up and onboarding process.

To control whether a site uses one generic Autodesk BIM 360 account or if authentication occurs for each individual user, a manager must run the System / Archibus Administrator - Application Configuration / Configure Application Parameters task and set the AbCommonResources.BIMForge-Autodesk-AuthenticationMethod parameter.
