How do I invite or remove users from my hub?

If this is your first time using Fusion: You must be a part of a hub to use Fusion. You can join an existing hub if you have an invite and/or create your own. Additionally, you must be manually assigned a license by the Smith Engineering IT team. To request a license, please submit a ticket via the Service Desk. Please note that a request submission does not guarantee that a license will be provisioned. That will be dependent on your grouping. Students of APSC 162 should automatically be assigned a license.

Creating a Fusion Hub

Note You may both create a hub and join a hub (so long as you receive an invite).

1

Download Fusion

If you haven’t already, download Fusion from AppsAnywhere and sign in with your NetID credentials, following the instructions from our Knowledge Base:

2

Verify Licensing

Once you are signed in, open the Fusion application and toggle through the pop-up windows.

There are two potential screens you could be met with:

If you are met with a page that asks you to ‘Join a Hub’ and the top banner reads ‘Trial ends in 30 days’, it means you do not have a license assigned to you. If that is the case, please submit a ticket via the ServiceDesk for IT review. Remember, you are not guaranteed a license; it will be dependent on your grouping.

If you are a part of APSC 162 you should automatically be assigned a license. If you do not have a license, please submit a ticket.

Note: To create a hub, DO NOT contact the primary admin as this screen suggests. Follow the instructions outlined in this KB article.

Please Note! DO NOT JOIN A HUB AT RANDOM. Hubs are customized spaces for individuals or groups and should not be joined without an invite. If you do join a hub at random, you can be kicked out at any time by the hub admin and lose access to your projects and files.

2. If you are met with a page that asks you to ‘Create a Hub’ and the top banner reads ‘Education License’, it means you have a license assigned to you. Please proceed to the next step for further information.

Create a Hub

If you have a license, you will be able to create a hub. You can name your Hub and restrict its access (this is strongly recommended) to prevent unwanted access.

Inviting and Removing users

1

Inviting users to a hub as an Admin

To invite users to a hub you have created, go to ‘Invite Users’ on the lefthand toolbar while signed into Fusion. Enter the emails of those you wish to invite to your hub.

2

Removing Users from hubs

To remove users from your hub, access the Admin Console.

Once you are in the Admin Console, navigate to ‘Members’, select the member you wish to remove, and set their status to ‘Deactivated’. Currently, you cannot remove a user from the members list, but deactivating them will remove their hub access.

Joining a Fusion Hub

Note You may both create a hub and join a hub (so long as you receive an invite).

1

Joining a hub with an invite

Once you have created a hub, you cannot search for Hubs to join. You must receive an invite link.

If you are invited to a hub, expect to receive an email with an invite link. Alternatively, you may be part of a course where your instructor provides an invite link to a hub. Use the invite link to join the hub.

Once you accept the invite, your new hub should show up in your list. You can toggle between them as needed.
