How to assign Udemy Business licenses
You can assign Udemy Business licenses to users individually, or in bulk via CSV Import.
- Note: Only admins can assign and remove Udemy Business licenses.
To assign a license to an individual user:

3. Locate the user by entering their name or email address into the search tool, or by selecting the checkbox next to their name on the list of all users.
4. Click the three vertical dots on the right side of the user's row and click Edit license type.
- Note: You can also access this option from the user’s profile page.
5. On the Edit license type pop-up, select the license you want to assign to the user.
6. Click Save changes.
The user will receive an email notification, prompting them to log in and access the features for their new Udemy Business license.
How to invite users and assign a Udemy Business license via email
You can also assign a Udemy Business license using the checkbox when you're inviting new users to Udemy Business.
1. Navigate to Manage > Manage users, and click Invite New Users.
2. Click Individual email addresses and add the email addresses of the users you want to invite.
On step 2:
- Choose a license add-on to allocate to the new user. This automatically gives the selected learners access to the add-on’s features when they accept their invitation to join Udemy Business.
On step 3:
- If you want to add the users to groups, select the desired groups.
On step 4:
- Select the language you'd like to issue the invitation in.

To edit the license type:

How to remove Udemy Business add-on licenses
If you want to move a learner back to an Enterprise only license:
