Who is a ShortPoint License Manager in Microsoft Teams?


ShortPoint License Manager is the most advanced user in terms of permissions. A License Manager has all the rights of a Designer, but in addition he/she has rights to assign the remaining ShortPoint licenses to other users.


The first user who submits a trial request will be automatically assigned as a ShortPoint License Manager. 


There can only be one License Manager per Teams account.


How to check if the user is a License Manager?


Click the down-arrow icon on the right side to the ShortPoint tab you have, and select the Settings option from the drop-down:



Open the Account Settings by clicking the cog wheel button inside the ShortPoint tab:



Switch to the Users tab. 

The user who has License Manager type is actually a License Manager :) 



How can License Manager assign a license to another user


ShortPoint License Manager can assign the licenses to existing or new users.
