Articulate 360 Teams subscribers can pay via credit card or purchase order. Articulate 360 Teams subscriptions are ideal when you need to purchase on behalf of someone else. For example, your company’s purchasing department might pay for a subscription then designate you as an admin for the account, allowing you to assign seats to users on your team.

Confirm Your Team Name

After buying a subscription, you’ll be prompted to open the account management console and confirm your team name. Choose a short version of your company name. If your organization has more than one Articulate 360 Teams subscription, include a label to differentiate them—for example, "Glivy - Marketing" or "ACME - Sales." Once you’ve entered the name, click Save. It’s that easy!

Understand User Roles

There are four types of users in an Articulate 360 Teams account.

Account Owner

The account owner is the person who bought the subscription and is responsible for billing management. The account owner is the only one who can buy more user seats.

If your team has activated Reach 360, the account owner is  also the owner there.

The account owner is an account admin as well, so they can manage all users, groups, and admins for the whole team.  That includes the ability to activate or deactivate Reach 360 and opt in or out of Articulate AI.

You can be an account owner for multiple teams, but you can only be a user on one team.

Account Admin

Account admins manage all users, groups, and admins for the whole team. Details here.

Account admins can't make purchasing decisions, but they can ask the account owner to buy more user seats as your team grows. They can also activate or deactivate Reach 360 and opt in or out of Articulate AI.

Account admins don't consume user seats (by default), so you can have as many as you'd like. However, if they need to manage the team and create e-learning courses, assign them to user seats so they can use the Articulate 360 apps.

If your team has activated Reach 360, account admins can manage Reach 360 admins, managers, and reporters.

You can be an account admin for multiple teams, but you can only be a user on one team.

Group Admin

Group admins manage users in the groups they’re responsible for. They can’t see or manage other groups or admins in the account management console. Details here.

Group admins can't make purchasing decisions, but they can ask the account owner to buy more user seats as your team grows.

Group admins don't consume user seats (by default), so you can have as many as you'd like. However, if they need to manage the team and create e-learning courses, assign them to user seats so they can use the Articulate 360 apps.

You can be a group admin for multiple teams, but you can only be a user on one team.

User

Users are seatholders. They can use Articulate 360 apps, such as Storyline 360 and Rise 360, and they can submit content for publishing to Reach 360 if it has been activated. Users create e-learning courses and collaborate on projects.

You can only be a user on one team.

 

See this article for more information about roles and permissions  in Articulate 360.

Add and Remove Admins

The account owner and account admins can add and remove other admins.

Add Admins

Admins don’t consume user seats (unless they’ve been assigned to seats), so you can add as many admins to your team as you want. We recommend adding at least two admins in case one is unavailable when you need help.

  1. Sign in to your account management console and click Manage Team on the left side of the screen.
  2. Click the Admins tab below the team name.
  3. Click the last row, enter the new admin’s email address, and click Invite.

New admins will receive an email invitation with instructions to create an account. You’ll want to show them how to manage users, groups, and admins.

By default, all admins are account admins, meaning they can manage all users, groups, and admins for the whole team. You can change an account admin to a group admin (and vice versa). Details here.

Remove Admins

  1. Sign in to your account management console and click Manage Team on the left side of the screen.
  2. Click the Admins tab below the team name.
  3. Hover over the admin you want to remove, click the X that appears, and click Remove. 

For Reach 360 subscribers: Articulate 360 admins are not automatically synced as Reach 360 admins. Learn more about the different roles in Reach 360 and how to invite learners to your training.

Assign Users to Open Seats

Users are the team members who use the Articulate 360 apps to create e-learning courses. Here’s how to add users to your team:

  1. Sign in to your account management console and click Manage Team on the left side of the screen.
  2. If you’re an account admin, make sure the Seats tab is selected below your team name. If you’re a group admin, you’ll see the groups you’re responsible for.
  3. Click an open seat, enter the new user’s email address, and click Invite.

Tip: Account admins can import multiple users all at once rather than adding them one by one. List the users’ email addresses in a CSV file, then upload it to your account by clicking Upload a CSV on the seat management screen. See this article for details.

New users receive an email invitation with instructions to create an account. You’ll want to show them how to install the Articulate 360 apps and manage their profile. Here’s some helpful information you can share with them:

Remove Users

  1. Sign in to your account management console and click Manage Team on the left side of the screen.
  2. If you’re an account admin, make sure the Seats tab is selected below your organization name. If you’re a group admin, you’ll see the groups you’re responsible for.
  3. Hover over the user you want to remove and click the X that appears.

Complete the process by selecting a team member as the new owner of the user's shared content and choosing whether or not to include personal content. Learn more about managing content when users leave your team.

If the user is also an admin, keep or remove their admin access when prompted.

For Reach 360 subscribers: Articulate 360 users without admin access are automatically synced as Reach 360 authors. Adding/removing Articulate 360 users will also add/remove them as Reach 360 authors. Learn more about the different roles in Reach 360 and how to invite learners to your training.

Buy More User Seats as Your Team Grows

As your team grows, buy more user seats right from your account management console. Admins can request more user seats, but only the account owner can purchase them. After signing in, click either Manage Team or Billing on the left side of the screen, then click Buy More Seats. See this article for details and answers to common questions.
