View Members of a project

[andrewrider]

Is there a way to view all members of a project if you are not an Admin? In the old Team version anyone was able to see the team members list and invite people to the project pending admin approval. Now you have no idea who is on the project unless you have admin rights. It was be nice to at least see this on the Home page.

Hi.

Have Autodesk updated this item?

It is really necessary.

[mpetrucci]

Paula, we may be able to help with developing a tool to provide you the info you need. If you would like to discuss, please contact me.

Why isn't this a thing? The data exist, surely there can be a way to show the members of a project so non-Admin users can view and request someone be added, or at the very least be able to click on a co-member of a project to send a message or similar.  Is it not available in BIM 360 at all?  It was in BIM 360 Field, I think.

This is actually a bit tricky topic. In our environment, some users do not want that some subcontractors know of eachother, for example if there is some bidding involved. Can be a bit marginal case, but still, sometimes in our company it is not desired that users know who else is in the project.

Seems at the very least there should be the ability for a member to contact a project admin (doesn't need to show names, just send an email) when they have a request or question related to membership, permissions, etc.

Still no solution? If it is a question of hiding the parties from each other, include the possibility. Idk maybe a check box for each member. At least the admins should be able to be clear on the dashbord of every project.

Is there any update on this? It is really needed. 

I only need to see who within my own organization has been granted access.

For example, if my hypotactically email was [email protected]. I need to be able to see a list of everyone else at [email protected] who has been granted permission, without being an admin on the project myself. 

Please help.

Just wanted to throw my support behind the idea of letting all project members see who's on the team. Right now, only the admin can access that info, and it would be really helpful for collaboration if we could all have access to it.

[evgeny.kurbatov]

I'd like to add my voice for that feature. I need to see if my company employees are the project member and what modules are assigned to them (Docs, Design Collaboration, etc.).

Sometimes happened that a BIM360 Collaborate License or Field license is assigned not by our company, but the company which host the cloud project. I need to see the license info for my company's users.

[Ryan_Holland_LDP]

Interestingly I believe the opposite.  We use the system for tendering/bidding, and therefore absolutely do not want members to be able to see each other and consider this a serious privacy issue.

In ACC this is already a function which I've voiced privacy concerns about previously. In the Docs / Build modules there is a 'members' tab which every user can access. I'm not sure what is in BIM 360 these days if this is the system that you're using. 

[Valacho_H]

What about this method (link below)? Rather than adding bidders as members of a project they may never actually win, send them access via a public link.
Because I agree, you don't always want all people to be able to see others who have access.

Are you doing permissions by role or company? It might be possible to extract a list (and have it set up as a tab on the Insights page) to show you who in the project has similar role/company settings).

thanks - David B.

6 years (and counting) to add a button that says "I'd like to request access to this project". Autodesk's response? "LOL ... no. Why could anyone ever want that?". Classic. It extra stings that there is an error screen that says "This project is not active or you do not have access..." despite the fact that BIM360 knows the answer to that question, and would be a perfect spot for this button/link:

... but no. Maybe it's too hard to add? Strikes me as odd because the button everyone wants is accessible here:

... you can access this dialogue by exploiting the slowness of BIM. Add a user (yourself, ideally) to a project, refresh the page, then try to access Document Management. Since it takes a while for BIM to figure out you have access, at THAT point it will let you ask for access from a project administrator. I presume Autodesk thinks this is an appropriate time to allow you to request access since you already have access, and this button only serves to send yet another superfluous e-mail to someone. Fair, I assume Autodesk is trying to prevent their platform from providing e-mails of users to random people interrogating their database for projects. However, there's no reason there can't be a "I'd like access to this project" button that internally to Autodesk's platform, an e-mail is sent to any / all admins.

At our company, we have maybe 15 project managers randomly sprinkled across our 200 projects. Since Autodesk sees no reason to add this very basic feature, users have 2 options:
- Ask all project managers if they're the one managing that BIM site (an unrealistic ask for random users to put in legwork).

- Ask the BIM administrator (IT) to add users.

Want to take a wild guess which one everyone uses?

Here's a suggestion that could satisfy everyone: a landing page where all active projects are listed (not just the ones you have access to ... maybe the top part of the list are ones you have access to, bottom are ones you do not). Clicking the projects gives you access to the projects, but if you don't have access, you're given a button to request access. Who has access to this lading page? Anyone who has a domain for their user matching the whitelist provided in the tenant, aka: users from your company. If you don't want that, create an option in the admin console to disable it.

I think you responded to the wrong thread. Maybe the one that you want is located in the IDEAS forum.

[wizard_ettore]

Apologies, I think you're right. I'll do that eventually.
