Group admins help drive effective learning engagement across an organization. We believe the best learning happens when team managers or those closest to the learning goals of employees can help drive learning forward. This article outlines what group admins can do, in comparison to admins.
- Note: group admin functionality is only available in the Enterprise plan.
What can group admins do?
The group admin feature enables team leads and managers to connect learners with the right course for their professional development. Group admins can also see reporting and insights for their groups, assign courses within their groups, manage the users in their groups, and invite new users if they have the permissions to do so.
Groups can have multiple group admins, and admins can choose whether to allow group admins to invite and deactivate users in the groups they manage.
Group admins without invite/deactivate permission set are able to:
- Assign courses to users and groups, for the groups they manage
- Assign learning paths to users and groups, for the groups they manage
- View learning activity for the users in the groups they manage
- Invite users to the groups they manage, if the user already has a Udemy Business license
- Remove users from the groups they manage
Group admins with invite/deactivate permission set are able to perform all the above actions, plus:
- Invite new users to the organization via the Invite New Users button, for the groups they manage.
- Invite users in bulk via CSV upload.
- View pending invitations to groups they manage by going to the Pending Invitations tab
- View deactivated users in groups they manage by going to the Deactivated Users tab
- Deactivate users from the organization, through the groups they manage
