    Mandi Bishop · 0 · Posted

    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.

    IMAGINiT is excited to announce a new option for the Clarity Cloud environment:  Hybrid Clarity Task Servers.

    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)

    • 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
