To access Naviate Cloud Manager it is necessary to first locate it on the BIM 360® Apps tab then Add it. Users retain the assigned service level by obtaining user access directly through an Autodesk® Account Login. This trusted integration simplifies project setup through granular folder and file permissions which allows for scheduling uploads, downloads, publishing and exporting of PDFs and NWCs.

The following describes the process for adding the App to the user's account, describing two different ways to access the Naviate Cloud Manager app. The end result is the same, however, and the user arrives at the same Naviate Cloud Manager app entry screen.

Important Note — You must have BIM 360® Account Admin access to perform the following procedure. If not, the following steps cannot be performed. If you don't have this level of access, you must either have Account Admin access granted to you or, alternatively, have someone with the necessary access perform the following steps.

Direct Access to Naviate App

This is the most simple and direct way to access the Naviate App. All that is necessary is to copy the following url and paste it into the address field of your we browser, and substitute the current hub id for the :account_id placeholder below.

https://apps.b360.autodesk.com/accounts/:account_id/apps/90179200-8973-4d91-be0c-d7ebfbd4cb5c

After substituting the actual account id for the :account_id placeholder, the url should look something like this:

https://apps.b360.autodesk.com/accounts/123abc-4d5e6f7-g88hh234ab-d4887596ee/apps/90179200-8973-4d91-be0c-d7ebfbd4cb5c

Please note the absence of a preceding "b." in the account id. Once the account id has been inserted into the url, press <Enter> to navigate to the Naviate App entry.

If you aren't sure what the account id is, it can be found on the following BIM 360® page:
