Overview

Seat Managers play a key role in managing Group Orders within Adviser CE. This article explains what a Seat Manager is, how to access the Admin Dashboard as a Seat Manager, and how to manage seats, enrollments, and learners efficiently.

What is a Seat Manager?

  • Seat Managers are users responsible for managing Group Order purchases

  • This role provides access to a dedicated Admin Dashboard

  • Seat Managers can track:

  • Purchased seats

  • Claimed and unclaimed seats

  • Learner enrollment and activity

Dedicated Seat Manager Role & Dashboard

  • The Seat Manager role is automatically assigned to any user who completes a Group Order purchase

  • Once the purchase is successful:

  • The user gains access to the Admin Dashboard

  • The dashboard serves as a centralized hub for seat and learner management

Actionable Insights & Notifications

From the Admin Dashboard, Seat Managers can:

  • View:

  • Claimed and unclaimed seats

  • Enrollment history

  • Learner last login activity

  • Receive notifications when learners enroll, helping drive timely engagement

Buy More Seats Anytime

  • Seat Managers can easily purchase additional seats at any time

  • Additional seats can be bought directly from the Admin Dashboard for the same product

Seat Manager Permissions

Seat Managers have permission to:

  • View the number of seats:

  • Purchased

  • Claimed

  • Still available

  • Self-enroll in a seat

  • Buy additional seats as needed

  • Generate, retrieve, and share sign-up links (used by learners to enroll)

  • View detailed learner information, including:

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Date created/enrolled

  • Date last signed in

  • User role type

  • Enrollment status

  • Unenroll students from purchased products

Admin Dashboard for Seat Managers

The Admin Dashboard allows you to track and manage your Group Orders in one place.

From the dashboard, you can:

  • View products purchased through Group Orders

  • See:

  • Total seats purchased

  • Seats claimed

  • Seats still unclaimed

  • Share sign-up links with learners

Selecting Manage will take you to the Seat Management Table.

Seat Management Table

Within the Seat Management Table, you can:

  • View students who enrolled using the Group Order sign-up link

  • Review learner details and enrollment status

  • Share enrollment links again as needed

  • Purchase additional seats for the same product

How to Access the Admin Dashboard

Seat Managers are automatically directed to the Admin Dashboard when signing in. You can also access it by:

  • Clicking View Your Admin Dashboard at the bottom of your Student Dashboard

  • Clicking your name in the header and selecting the Admin option from the dropdown

  • Selecting the View My Admin Dashboard link from Group Order email notifications

Managing Seats

Seat Managers can manually manage purchased seats, including enrolling and unenrolling learners.

Manually Enroll Students

To manually enroll a student:

  • From the Admin Dashboard, locate the product you purchased

  • Click Manage

  • Click Enroll

  • Select Add User Individually

  • Enter the student’s information

  • Click Create and Enroll

The user will be created and enrolled, claiming one purchased seat.

Manually Unenroll Students

To manually unenroll a student:

  • From the Admin Dashboard, locate the product you purchased

  • Click Manage

  • Search for the student using the search bar

  • Click the three dots next to the student’s name

  • Select Unenroll

  • Confirm by clicking Unenroll

Important:

  • The student’s enrollment status will change to Expired

  • The student will no longer have access to the product

  • The seat cannot be reassigned, and the claimed seat count does not change

Bulk Enroll Students

Seat Managers can enroll multiple students at once using a file upload:

  • From the Admin Dashboard, locate the product you purchased

  • Click Manage

  • Click Enroll

  • Select Bulk Import with File

  • Download the provided template

  • Add student names and email addresses

  • Upload the completed CSV or XLSX file

  • Click Import

Once complete, users will be created and enrolled, claiming the purchased seats.

Seat Manager Notifications

Seat Managers will receive:

  • A purchase receipt showing:

  • Quantity of seats purchased

  • A link to the Admin Dashboard

  • An email notification when the first learner enrolls using the sign-up link

  • This notification is sent for the first claimed seat only

Important Considerations

  • Any user who has made a Group Order purchase is assigned the Seat Manager role

  • Seat Managers can only manage seats they personally purchased

  • When signing in, Seat Managers are automatically directed to the Admin Dashboard

  • Courses a Seat Manager is personally enrolled in can be accessed via the My Student Dashboard

  • The Admin Dashboard is currently available in English only
