The Administration dashboard is for creating and managing user accounts, configuring email settings in the system and for reviewing subscription terms. Only users with administrative privileges have access to this dashboard.
Managing User Accounts
The Users page lists all of the user profiles that have been created for your Assemble account. Each user record displays the user’s name, email address, whether the user is an Administrator, and when the user last logged in to Assemble. On the Users page, you can create a new user, make a user an Administrator, deactivate users, and reactivate users.
Assemble has 3 permission levels: Administrator, Project Administrator and Team Member. For a detailed description of user permissions, click here.
In order to access the web-based Assemble application or to publish a model from an authoring tool, a person must first have an Assemble account. An Assemble Administrator at your organization must first create the user account, and the user must then accept the invitation and sign in to the account to access Assemble or publish models.
