How do I assign individual products to my team members?

To assign a product:
After signing up/in to your Organization Admin account, you will have access to the licenses dashboard where the purchased products are displayed. If you have admin permissions for more than one account, double-check that you are on the correct account to accurately assign a license to a learner. You can easily switch accounts by clicking on the dropdown next to the account name.
Step 1: Choose a product you would like to assign to your team member/s and click ‘Invite learners’. You will need to select whether you will let access start upon invitation redemption or you set a course material access date then click ‘Continue’.
NOTE: The option is only available for Course and Certification Exam bundle and CyberCore. Subscriptions have a predetermined start date agreed with the Sales representative. Lab Extensions, Exam Retakes, Standalone OffSec Certification Exam or OffSec Recertification Exam start upon invitation redemption if assigned to your learner, and starts immediately if assigned to yourself.
Step 2: Add in the email address/es of your team member/s you would like to assign the product to. You can invite more than one learner at a time. Just use a comma or a space to separate their email addresses. Once you have added the email address/es, click ‘Continue'.
Step 3: You have just assigned the product to your team member/s and an invitation email will be sent to the learner. Invitation status and additional actions will be available in the ‘My Learners’ section.
For individual subscription licenses, the invite can be sent and redeemed prior to the agreed subscription start date. To learn how long a product invitation can be redeemed, please visit the Product validity FAQ.
In the event you receive an error when sending the invitation, click here for more information on the error along with recommended next actions.
How do I assign individual products to myself?
In order to assign a product to yourself, you need to go through the same steps as with assigning a product to your team members (see above). Note, if you do not select the option to set a course access date, access to the product assigned will start immediately and cannot be paused or rescheduled for any reason.
How do I assign products to my team members using Flex funds?
After signing up/in to your Organization Admin account, you will have access to the Products dashboard where the purchased products are displayed. If you have admin permissions for more than one account, double-check that you are on the correct account to accurately assign a license to a learner. You can easily switch accounts by clicking on the dropdown next to the account name. To assign a product:
Step 1: Navigate to the “Flex” section. Click on ‘Invite learners’ located at the bottom right of the section.
Step 2: Select your desired product from the product family dropdown menu then click "Continue". Assigning a 90-day course can be done by selecting 'OffSec Course & Cert Exam Bundle. For lab extensions and exam retakes, select the course name then select which add-on you would like to assign.
For Course and certification exam bundle, CyberCore and Subscriptions, you will need to select whether you will let the access start upon invitation redemption or you set a course material access date within the validity of your Flex credits.
Step 3: Once you have selected an option, click ‘Continue’. Add in the email address/es of your team member/s you would like to assign the product to. You can invite more than one learner at a time. Just use a comma or a space to separate their email addresses. Once you have added the email address/es, click ‘Continue'.
In the event you receive an error when sending the invitation, click here for more information on the error along with recommended next actions.
If you plan on extending the validity of your Flex funds, make sure you free up any credits tied to Pending invitations by withdrawing the invitations before the extension. This will ensure the validity of those credits get extended as well. You will be able to re-issue the invites once your Flex funds expiration date has been extended.
How to send bulk invites
You can now invite more than one learner at a time.
You can input the email address individually and just separate them using a space or a comma.
If you have a list of your learners, check that the email addresses are separated by a space or comma then copy and paste them in the invite modal.
Once all email addresses are added, add a space after the last email then click 'Continue'.
How to filter assigned licenses?
If you need to review or check your assigned licenses and your learners, you can go to your 'My Learners' section of your Products dashboard and use the filter icon next to the search bar.
You can filter by invitation status, by license type or both.
How can I manage the invites?
Invite management can be performed with the help of the following actions:
Resend invitation - If one or more learners haven't accepted their invite, the resend invitation action will trigger a new email notification prompting them to enroll and gain access to the assigned product.
Withdraw invite - If one or more learners have yet to accept their invitation, you can withdraw the invite. This action prompts an email notification to inform the learner that their invitation has been withdrawn.
Withdrawing an invitation automatically returns the associated license to the available balance, enabling you to reassign the product to another learner.
This functionality is also beneficial in case of inadvertent license assignment or selection of an incorrect course during the assignment process. However, if the invitation has already been accepted, you'll need to submit a request for evaluation and assistance.
Edit course material access start date - If one or more learners haven't accepted their invite; or accepted their invite but with a future start date and wish to start access on another date, the edit course material access start date action allows you to select any other available dates within the validity of the license and triggers an email notification informing the learner/s that access date has been updated.
Just bear in mind that this is only applicable to the following products:
- Course & Cert Exam bundle whether they were issued using Flex or non-Flex (individual licenses).
- Subscriptions issued using Flex only
How to purchase additional or new licenses?
As the organization's admin, who in the past purchased products directly with OffSec, you are now able to purchase additional licenses via the Buy More page in the portal. At the moment, the only payment method available for this flow is through a credit card only. The steps are as follows:
Step 1: Click on the "Buy More" button and you will be redirected to the Training options page. You can see at the top of the page the organization account under which you can purchase new licenses. Here is where you see the org you are purchasing licenses for.
NOTE: If your admin account is associated with more than one organization account, you will have to select which account you are making a purchase with.
Step 2: Look for the product you wish to purchase and set the desired quantity. Review the products in your cart then click Continue.
NOTE: If you purchase a subscription license while having an ongoing subscription period on your account, your new purchase will be co-termed with your existing subscription. If you do not have an active subscription, the access start date of your new subscription is equal to the payment date.
Step 3: Complete the payment. As soon as you have submitted your payment, the newly purchased license will become available on the Licenses section of your “Admin Console” menu. You may access your receipt by going to your billing page inside the OffSec Learning Library.
