Chain management

This option is available to: Organization administrators only.

 
Chain management allows you to link your organization to another organization account. Once the accounts are linked, the chain manager can transfer licences to their members and access the members' organizations to view their classes and courses.

 
Chain management can be used by chains of schools that are managed by a head office or want to purchase licences centrally, or by universities with several campuses and a central administrative body.
