In a multi-user environment, specifically the education lab install, Fusion 360 is installed at root. As a result the Application Bundle is owned by root. Unfortunately Fusion 360 continues to write stuff to Application Bundle rather than the user owned ~/Library/Application support/ folder. The offending folder is "Material Library". This results in permissions issues. We have worked around this issue over the last several months by changing the permissions on the offending folder.
I change permissions on the Material Library folder recursively post install using:
sudo chmod -R 777 /Applications/Autodesk\ Fusion\ 360.app/Contents/Libraries/Material\ Library/
You can quickly identify all the files in use in the application bundle using:
find /Applications/Autodesk\ Fusion\ 360.app/. \! -user root
This is one of the related threads discussing this issue.

Is there any chance the application structure could be corrected? Writing to the application bundle generally is considered not a best practice.
