Autodesk Identity Manager

Autodesk Identity Manager (AIM) is a cloud-based service provided by Autodesk that enables easy management of user access and permissions across multiple Autodesk products and services. It offers single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and other security features to help protect user accounts.

AIM makes it easier for users to access Autodesk products and services through a single login process. It also provides IT administrators with centralized user management and control over access to Autodesk resources. AIM helps enhance the security of user accounts by providing features like multi-factor authentication and identity federation.

Identity federation allows users to access Autodesk products and services using their existing corporate network credentials. This eliminates the need for separate usernames and passwords for different systems, improving convenience while also enhancing security by reducing the likelihood of reuse of weak or compromised passwords.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security to user accounts by requiring a second form of identification in addition to a password. This can take the form of a code sent to the user's mobile device, a fingerprint scan, or other forms of verification.

AIM supports various identity standards including SAML, OpenID Connect, and OAuth, allowing it to be used with a wide range of third-party applications. However, some setup may be required to enable this functionality.

AIM is available with most Autodesk subscriptions. To get started, IT administrators can set up user accounts and configure access to Autodesk products using the AIM console. End users can then log in using their credentials to access the available resources.

Most Autodesk products and services are compatible with AIM. However, some older versions or legacy applications may not be supported. Users should refer to the Autodesk documentation for specific compatibility information.

Autodesk provides various resources for support, including documentation, forums, and a knowledge base. Customers with a subscription may also have access to additional support options such as phone or chat support.

AIM supports various compliance requirements such as SOC2 and GDPR by providing features such as user access logging and control over account lifetimes. This helps organizations meet their data protection and regulatory requirements while also improving security and administrative efficiency.

Some common issues include problems with user authentication, account synchronization with external directories, and software compatibility issues. These issues can often be resolved by checking documentation and troubleshooting guides or by contacting Autodesk support.
