FAQ: Unity ID

Unity ID is your user account with Unity. It allows you to connect with your Unity teams and resources, and securely control access to Unity services for you and your team members.

When you open a Unity ID, you are automatically assigned an organization. This default organization has the same name as your user name and consists only of yourself. You can use this default organization to purchase subscriptions for your use only. As well, developers that do not have their own studio can use their default organization when they open a profile on MWU.

You can open a “public” organization if you have a team/studio for which you need to manage Unity services. You use your public organization to associate projects, resources, and creators throughout Unity. You can purchase services for your organization and then invite members to join to give them access to Unity. There are a number of administrative tasks you can perform for your organization, including:

• Controlling access to some cloud-based features. Based on their job/function, you can assign each member access rights, for example, giving your marketing team access to see how much revenue a game generates in Unity Ads.
• Controlling access to Cloud Build projects within your organization. You can organize members of your organization into separate groups in which the members of a given group have access to specific Cloud Build projects.

Unity assigns rights, purchases, and privileges to the organization. Anyone associated with the organization has access, based on their role, to that organization's Unity services and projects, so working together is easy and consistent.

Owners can do anything with any of their organization's purchases, across all projects. Owners are the only users who have access to the payment instruments and billing data at the organization level.

Managers can do most of the things with any of their organization's purchases, across all projects. Managers can add users, access ads revenue data, and do almost everything an owner can do, except see billing and credit card information for the organization.

Users can only read and view data (with the exception of ads revenue data), not edit it.

Guests are special users that are not part of the Organization but work on one of its Unity Projects. This is to allow for team members who may be working on a project on a temporary basis, such as freelancers.

Groups are a tool to help larger organizations more easily manage their teams. An owner or manager of an organization can take members in his/her organization and put them in a group, and add that group to a Unity project, thereby giving members in that group access.

A project lives inside a Unity ID organization. Unity projects have access to Unity services in that organization, and can be shared and managed with others through Unity. Anybody part of that organization has access to that project. But you can also invite people from outside the org into a specific project through the editor. They will have access to everything in that project, but anything else in the same organization they won't have any access to.

Anyone with a Unity ID.

Unity provides features to allow users associated with a Unity project to create faster and communicate better with each other. Users associated with a Unity project can also use the Unity services associated with the Unity project’s owning organization.

An organization has projects. An organization has users. A project is associated with users

Owners of organizations can revoke Unity seats/access. If this happens to you, you will be notified by email and when you open the Editor for the first time after your seat has been revoked. If you think there is a mistake and that you should still have access to Unity, contact the owner of the organization under which your seat was assigned, or, Unity support(https://support.unity3d.com/).

Yes.

Payment method refers to how you pay for your Unity subscriptions, for example, a credit card. A payout profile is for those customers who get paid out earnings from Unity Ads.

As many as you want.

You can invite someone to be a member of your organization via your Unity ID. You can log into your ID from unity3d.com.

From Developer.cloud.unity3d.com or directly through the editor.

When you subscribe to Unity you purchase a seat, or access rights, for each person in your organization that will be using Unity. For example, if you have 10 users on your team, you need a Unity Pro subscription with 10 seats, with each seat costing $125/month.

All seats can be distributed to members of an organization by either the Owner or the Manager of that organization.

You can manage the seats in your subscription by going to Organization-Subscription-Seats. In seat management you can see how many seats are assigned, and how many are left to be assigned. You can also revoke seats and re-assign them to new users.

For more information on seat management in Unity ID, see our Support Knowledge Base.

To assign a seat to a contractor the owner or manager of the organization in Unity ID will first have to invite that person to become a member of the organization.

A user can be a member of multiple organizations and can thus be assigned a Pro seat from multiple organizations. As a user you can also bring a Pro Seat of the Editor with you when collaborating on a project for another Organization.
