Is there any difference between the admins of an Organization?

Currently, our system allows for two types of admins:

1. Full admin - this is the primary/main admin of the account. There can only be one full admin associated with an organization’s account at any time.
2. Sub-admins - these are secondary admins, who can assist the Full Admin with managing licenses. An organization’s account can have multiple sub-admins at the same time.

What permissions does a Sub-admin have?

The following permissions are available to your sub-admins on the account:

• Adding new sub-admins to the account.
• Resending or withdrawing invitations to other sub-admins.
• Revoking access of other sub-admins.
• Managing licenses associated with the account (sending, resending or withdrawing product invites)
• Create groups.
• View reports (if applicable).
• Teams Achievements Page

What permissions does a full admin have?

The full admin has all of the permissions of a sub-admin, plus the ability to purchase additional licenses directly through the OffSec Learning Platform.

How can I tell what type of admin I am?

To see your admin status:

1. Click on the 'Admin Console' button on the left hand menu
2. Go to the 'Team Management' section 
3. Under the Admin Accounts option, find your account in the list of admins. You will be able to see the type of admin rights assigned to you in the ‘Role’ column.

How can I become a full admin?

Only a full admin can transfer their rights to a sub-admin. A sub-admin cannot promote its own or other sub-admins accounts to full admin.

Can I be the full admin for multiple accounts?

No, you can be a sub-admin of multiple organization accounts, however, you can only be the primary (full) admin for one of the accounts at a time.

Can sub-admins create groups and view reports?

Yes! All types of admins can create and manage groups. If reports are enabled on your organization’s account, sub-admins will automatically gain access to view all the reports.

For example, if you are an Education Partner you can now give your classroom instructors or TAs sub-admin access. This will allow them to split the learners in groups (i.e. based on the class or year they are part of) and then track their progress (i.e. has the user accepted their training invitation, how much of the training material have they completed, etc.) and pull reports on the entire class at once.

If you are purchasing training for multiple departments in your organization, you can now make the manager of each department a sub-admin and allow them to easily assign, manage and track the progress of their group.

For more information on the grouping and reporting functionality please check:

• Can I group my learners?

I received an invitation to be a sub-admin. What do I need to do?

Start by following the instructions inside the invitation email you received. Once you click the ‘Accept Invitation’ link, you will be redirected to a personalized sign up/sign in page inside the OffSec Learning Platform.

• If you have previously registered in the OffSec Learning Platform, with the email address you received the invitation on, log into your account then click on the ‘Admin Console’ button at the left hand menu.
• If you are new to the OffSec Learning Platform, sign up by:

  • Once you have activated your account, complete your profile and select your communication preferences.

You can now start assigning licenses, create groups of learners and view reports on them.

How to remove Admin Rights?

If you are the Full Admin and want to remove your own admin access, you must first transfer the Full Admin role to another user in your organization.

You can transfer the Full Admin role to:

• an existing Sub-Admin
• another member of your organization, after first assigning them as a Sub-Admin

How to transfer Full Admin rights to an existing Sub-Admin?

1. Go to the Admin Dashboard and select Team Management.
2. Find the Sub-Admin you want to assign as the new Full Admin.
3. Click the three-dot menu next to their name.
4. Select Transfer Full Admin rights.

Once the transfer is complete, your admin access will be removed and your account will be converted to an individual account.

NOTE: The new Full Admin will receive an email notification about the change.

Refresh the page to confirm the changes. You should no longer see the Admin Dashboard.

How to transfer Full Admin rights to another member of your organization?

If the person is not yet a Sub-Admin, first invite them as one by following the steps in How can I add a sub-admin?

After they have been added as a Sub-Admin, follow the steps above to transfer Full Admin rights to them.

If there is no one available to transfer Full Admin rights to

Please contact our Support team for assistance if:

• you do not have a Sub-Admin or another user to transfer Full Admin rights to
• you purchased the license for yourself only, used all licenses and no longer require admin rights
• you have left the company

How to remove Sub-Admin rights from a user?

If you are the Full Admin and want to remove Sub-Admin access from a user:

1. In Admin Dashboard, select Team Management.
2. Find the Sub-Admin whose access you want to remove.
3. Click the three-dot menu next to their name.
4. Select Remove access.

Refresh the page to confirm that the changes have been applied.

Key things to remember:

• When admin changes occur, the affected user receives an email notification.
• When admin rights are removed, the user will no longer be able to manage users, licenses, or account settings.
• If that same user is later included in a new purchase made through an OffSec Sales representative, admin rights may be reassigned to that user automatically. This will override any previously configured individual permissions.
