Manager Roles & Free Admin Seats

Understand how learning seats work and why manager accounts do not cost extra.

Written by Elwin BERRAR

1. Free Admin & Manager Accounts

To help you manage training without wasting your budget:

  • No Extra Cost: Creating an Organization or Manager account is 100% free.

  • Full Allocation to Learners: If you purchase 5 seats, all 5 seats are allocated directly to your network engineers, IT staff, or students.

2. Understanding Roles & Permissions

Your organization hub supports two distinct roles:

  • Manager / Admin:

    • Has full access to the Manager Dashboard.

    • Can invite, assign, reassign, or remove learner licenses.

    • Downloads billing invoices and manages payment details.

    • Does not have access to course materials or interactive CLI labs unless assigned a learner seat.

  • Member / Learner:

    • Has full access to all CCNA and CCNP training paths, interactive browser-based CLI labs, scenarios, and flashcards.

    • Tracks individual progress and skill achievements.

3. Can a Manager also be a Learner?

Yes. If an admin also wants to complete labs and courses, simply assign one of your purchased seats to the manager’s account from the Team Management tab.
