If you manage account membership for users in the Tekla Online Admin Tool, you can invite users to your company's account by adding their email addresses. The users receive an invitation email and must accept the invitation.

1. Sign in to the Tekla Online Admin Tool.
2. Go to the Users page
   
3. Above the users table, click Invite users.

   

4. Add one or more email addresses.

   You can copy and paste email addresses or import them from a CSV file. To enter several addresses, separate the addresses with a comma.

   Example: user1@example.com,user2@example.com
   It is not necessary for the users to have a Trimble Identity before you invite them. Users are prompted to create a Trimble Identity if they do not already have one.
5. Select whether to invite the users as employees or members.
   • To invite the users as employees, ensure that the Invite as employee checkbox is selected.

     Employees have full access to your company's licenses and online services for Tekla products.

     A user can only have the employee role in one account at a time. If a user already has the employee role in another account, joining your account as an employee removes the employee role from the user in the other account.

     If you want to give a user from a different account access to licenses in your account, add the user as a member instead.

   • To invite the user as a member, clear the Invite as employee checkbox.

     Members only have access to your company's licenses.

     A user can be a member in several accounts at the same time. Adding a user as a member does not change the user's employee status in any other accounts.

6. If you want to give additional rights to the users included in this invitation, select one or more of these roles:

   • Administrator: The users are allowed to manage users and licenses in the Tekla Online Admin Tool.

     This role only affects the user's access rights in the Tekla Online Admin Tool. Selecting this role does not change the user's access rights in the Admin Console.

   • Project Settings Creator: The users are allowed to manage project settings, environments, and other project files in the Project Settings Management Console.
   • Tekla Model Sharing Admin: The users are allowed to manage the account's shared models using the Management Console for Tekla Model Sharing.
   • Tekla Warehouse Content Editor: The users are allowed to create and edit the account's content in Tekla Warehouse.

     For more information, see About the Tekla Warehouse Content Editor role.

   You can assign these roles to employees and members in your company's account.

7. If you manage licenses in the Tekla Online Admin Tool and you want to assign licenses in advance, click Edit assigned licenses, then select the licenses.

   • Some licenses might be selected for all users by default. Deselect the checkboxes for any licenses that you do not want to assign to the users.

   • The license seats are reserved when you send the invitations so that they cannot be unintentionally assigned to other users.

     The license reservation ends if:

     • The email address is not valid.

     • The user rejects the invitation.

     • An administrator in your company cancels the invitation before the user accepts it.

     • The invitation expires.

   • The license is assigned when the user accepts the invitation.

8. To change the language of the invitation email, select a language from the Select invitation email language list.
9. Click Invite.

   Trimble's system sends an invitation email to the invited users. Each user must accept the invitation within one week. If the invitation expires, a new invitation must be sent.

   The user can accept the invitation by clicking the link in the email or in their Online Profile page. If a new Trimble Identity is created for a user, the user must fill in the mandatory profile information.

10. In the Tekla Online Admin Tool, ensure that the invited users have joined your account before the invitations expire.

    When users accept the invitations:

    • The user appears in the user list.

    • The user gets access to your company's additional content and services if you added the user as an employee.

    • The user can immediately use any licenses or roles that you assigned in the invitation. The status of reserved licenses changes to assigned. If the license has limited assignments, one assignment is deducted from the remaining count of assignments.

11. If you manage licenses in the Tekla Online Admin Tool and you did not assign licenses in advance, assign the necessary licenses and roles after the user is added to your company's account.

If you manage account membership for users in the Tekla Online Admin Tool, you can give users a static link to request to join your company's account. Any number of people can use the link, and it does not expire.
