Assign and differentiate direct and partner licenses

Your company might work with partners and resellers who use your content to promote your products. As an administrator, you can assign and change your users' license type. You can also see an overview of assigned license types and filter your users by license type. This helps you quickly identify direct and partner users.

To use this feature, you need the Content and/or Coach Channel Package activated. When activated for your organization, your users have a direct license type by default. Based on your contract, the Channel Package allows you to add a limited number of partner licenses.
