Implement master database grouping (as available on Workgroup Data Servers) for Autodesk Cloud master databases.

At present all cloud databases used by an organisation get stored in a single group, on a single hub. This will lead to really long drop-downs in the GUI that are not user-friendly or conducive to model management, let alone information security / granulated user-access controls.

Previously users could deploy multiple WDS machines and use the master database 'group' functionality to resolve these problems but the new cloud offering seems to be lacking this.

We don't want to impact licensing agreements or pester Info360 IT admins by messing about with splitting into multiple 'teams' - a process that was accessible to the end-user with the most basic permission would be ideal: which group do you want this new master database to be in? Exactly how the Workgroup database creation process currently works would be ideal. Then replace the 'Hub' dropdown with a 'group' dropdown, since we can only have one hub anyway.

    Thanks for the suggestion and thanks to those who voted. This was a popular request since the introduction of InfoWorks cloud databases, almost every adopter of cloud asked for this.

    I am pleased to announce that we have implemented a Project Admin capabilities in our cloud databases where users can now create Projects under Hubs and add roles and access levels to each project.

    You can watch this video to see what has been implemented and I look forward to hearing your feedback once you get a chance of trying it.
