Subscription Manager

Important:

The Subscription Manager is designed to manage users within the current site only. If your organization owns multiple sites, then this tool cannot provide a consolidated view of subscriptions across all these sites. If you need assistance to identify users that are consuming a subscription without being assigned to a Flow Production Tracking site, please contact our support team.

You can view and manage your team subscription details with the Subscription Manager, available in the Apps menu under ADMIN TOOLS. Use the Subscription Manager to view what subscription type is assigned to each user, and change this assignment as required.

You will need to have the Access admin functionality permission enabled for users to update subscription information.

To remove a subscription from a user:

  1. In Flow Production Tracking, select Apps > Subscription Manager.
  2. In the Subscription Manager, open the Subscription menu for the user.
  3. Select None.
Important:

Assigning None disables the user in Flow Production Tracking and they cannot sign in your site anymore.

Multiple roles for an account

The Subscription Manager actually lists the Autodesk Account of the users invited to the Flow Production Tracking site.

Sometimes, an Autodesk Account can be assigned multiple Flow Production Tracking roles. This is why the Subscription Manager also displays the actual Flow Production Tracking roles assigned to each Autodesk Account. You can use Subscription Manager to enable and disable roles.

In the following example, the Autodesk Account Annie Page is assigned the roles of Admin, Artist, Vendor, and Manager. The Artist account is disabled, as indicated by disabled role.

Multi-accounts for one Autodesk Account

Note:

The enabled/disabled state of a user's role always matches the status displayed in the People Page.

To select the roles for an account:

  1. In the Subscription Manager, open the Subscription menu for the user.

  2. Select a subscription, and then roles to enable or disable.
