The problem When onboarding a new team member, a consultant, or a company-wide role (e.g. BIM Manager, HSE Officer), administrators currently have to open each project individually and add the user one by one. In organisations managing dozens or hundreds of projects, this is extremely time-consuming and error-prone. There is no native bulk assignment feature in Autodesk Forma today, which forces teams to rely on third-party tools or custom API scripts just to handle routine access management. The request We would like two complementary bulk-assignment workflows in the Members / Permissions area of Forma: 1 — Add one user to multiple projects Select a single user, then choose a scope: all projects in the hub, or a filtered subset (e.g. by project name, type, status, or date range). Assign a role and apply in one action. 2 — Add one project to multiple users Select a single project, then target a filtered set of users — for example, all members of a specific company or all users holding a particular role — and grant access in one step. Why this matters This is a routine administrative task in any large organisation. Without it, admins are effectively locked out of efficient access management unless they write and maintain their own API integrations. Adding bulk assignment natively would reduce human error, save significant admin time, and bring Forma in line with what is already possible in other Autodesk platform products. It would also lower the barrier to keeping access controls accurate and up to date across the portfolio. Current workaround We currently use third-party tools and direct API calls to replicate this functionality — an approach that requires technical overhead and ongoing maintenance, and is not accessible to most project administrators.
