Autodesk Secure Service Accounts are a new mechanism for connecting to project data specifically designed for application to application access.  Although the usage is very similar to the existing ACC/BIM 360 Authorization in Clarity, there are some distinct differences.  

Advantages of using a Secure Service Account to access Autodesk Construction Cloud/BIM 360:

• More secure than a traditional OAuth connection:
  • - There is no user password (cannot be stolen, hacked or mis-used like typical passwords).
  • - It can only be used by the Clarity application, no humans, no other apps.
  • - It is designed to be more restricted/scoped to limit access.
  • - The

What Does This Mean?

From a Clarity Cloud tenant, you can choose where your tasks are executed:

• In the Cloud, using Autodesk APS Design Automation (pay-per-hour)
• On Premise, using your own hardware software (fixed price-per-year)

Having tasks execute on-premise addresses a number of issues:

• Can perform tasks that require access to local software and resources (i.e. Navisworks Exporters, PDF, etc)
• Allows you to specify the appropriate hardware to open Revit models (for example, if 64 GB RAM is required)
• Controls your cost for
