Changing the moderator of a project

Anonymous · ‎06-02-2015

Someone suggested making it possible to change the moderator of a project. It was marked as approved. Has this feature been implemented yet?

If so, how can we change the moderator? Our moderator no longer works on the project that we're doing, and we don't want to have to continuously bother him.

Alternatively, is there some way to change the project such that invitations don't need to be approved?\\

Thank you!

@Anonymous,

There are two things on the roadmap that could help.

An auto-approve setting that lets a moderator auto-approve project invitations
Ability to move projects from old owner’s account to new owner’s account.

#1 is unscheduled at the moment

#2 is scheduled for endish of the year

At the moment, the only workaround (not nice) we can suggest:

You re-create the project in another account and export and import the data.

Thank you for using Fusion 360.

Our project moderator is no longer with the project. How can we switch the moderator to a new one?

Thanks!

Is the project stored on an Autodesk Fusion Team hub or a personal hub (the free version that comes with Fusion 360)?

I'm not really sure. I have a free Fusion account (but have also other Autodesk licenses). Others on the team have a startup account.

Here's a screenshot of how the project is stored.

With the personal hub, the projects are stored in a hub that is associated with each user's Autodesk ID. There is no "central" hub with which the moderator can be changed.

However, with a team hub (A360 team was renamed to Fusion Team), the projects are stored in a central hub. The hub is managed by a named user (this can be modified). Users can be given a greater variety of roles and permissions in a the hub. See @Bud_Schroeder_ADESK blog post below for some further information about this.

If the designs you would like to have are stored in another's hub, and you still have access to those projects. You should be able to download a Fusion archive file, see below link.

After doing this, you can upload this into another project on your personal hub.

I hope this helps clarify some things. Let me know if you have any questions.
