Adding a New Learner

New learners can be added to your Organization at any time. It is recommended that licenses be assigned when someone is added, but learners and admins can be invited without a license assigned if needed.

To invite someone to your organization:

• Click Learners from the left pane
• Select the People tab
• Click Invite People
• Enter the learner’s email address (you can use their Username if they already have an Adept account and have provided you with their unique Username)
• Add an optional note for the Learner
• Assign their role:
  • Learner: will consume content and hold a license
  • Learning Admin: will act as a secondary administrator for your account; they can manage learners, assign content, and review analytics
  • Billing Admin: has access to historical receipts and can update your payment method; can purchase licenses and manage auto-renew
  • Owner: can add/remove the owner role from others in the org, has access to historical receipts, can update your payment method, can purchase licenses, and manage auto-renew. You can have more than one Owner in your Organization, if needed.
• Assign a license (optional but recommended): you will see a count of your unassigned licenses and a button to Assign License for this learner. If you do not assign a license now, you can do so later from your Learners section.
• Add to groups (optional)
• Click Invite
• The Learner will receive an email with a link to validate their email address and create their credentials

Assigning a license after someone has been invited to your Organization: 

If you invited a Learner to your Organization and later need to assign them a license, you can do so from the People tab in the Learners section. Keep in mind that licenses can not be assigned if an email address is still Unverified.

• Click Learners from the left pane
• Select the People tab
• Find your Learner and click the More Actions button on the right side of the table
• Select Manage Assigned Licenses
• Check the box for your subscription 
• Click Save Changes

Removing a License

If one of your team members leaves your team or otherwise does not need a license, you can remove the license to transfer it to a new learner:

If your team member no longer needs their license and will not remain in the Organization:

Note: If a Learner is removed from your Organization, they will no longer appear in your Analytics

• Click Learners from the left pane
• Select the People tab
• Find your Learner and click the More Actions button on the right side of the table
• Select Remove Person
• You can then add a new learner to the account and assign them the license

If your team member will remain in your organization but does not need a license: 

• Click Learners from the left pane
• Click the People tab
• Find your Learner and click the More Actions button on the right side of the table
• Select Manage Assigned Licenses
• Uncheck the subscription and Save Changes 
• The Learner will remain in your Organization but will no longer have a license

Resending invitations

After you've added a learner or admin to your team, they will receive a welcome email with an invitation to create their account and set a password. Learners who have accepted their invitation will be in the Members section of the People tab. Click Invites from the People tab to see your Pending, Expired, and Declined Invites. 

You can filter by Invite Status to quickly identify Pending invitations. From there, you can re-send, update, or cancel the invite using the More Actions button to the right of their email address.

Purchasing additional licenses

You can purchase additional licenses from the Billing section of your account. If you need to purchase on payment terms, via a PO, or by Wire, please contact our Sales Team for assistance.

Purchasing licenses requires that you have a payment method saved in your account. If you do not already have a payment method saved:

• Sign in to your CBT Nuggets account
• Select the Billing tab from the left pane

Bulk Invite or Managing Learners by CSV 

After clicking Invite People from your Learners page, select the Bulk-invite people with varied roles, licenses, and groups button. You can add a comma-separated list of learners or upload a CSV to quickly add multiple learners. After adding your learner list or CSV, click Submit Emails. You will then see your bulk management options. You can assign licenses, roles, and groups. Your learners do not need to have matching roles, licenses, or groups. **

Transferring Ownership

An Account Owner can designate multiple Owners for their organization. To do so, select the Owner role when inviting someone or edit their role to add Owner from the People tab. An Owner can also transfer ownership to anyone in their Organization who has verified their email address. If you are the current Account Owner and need to transfer ownership to another learner in your organization:

• Select Organization from the left pane
• Scroll down to select Transfer Ownership
• Select the new owner from the list
• Optionally, you can toggle on “Remove me from the Organization” if you would no longer like to be associated with the organization
