Managing Zoom Webinars Plus licensing
Account owners and admins can easily transfer a Zoom Events or Zoom Webinars Plus license and all hub data from one active user on the account to another user through User Management on the web portal. This allows account owners or admins to assign a Zoom Events or Zoom Webinars Plus license to users responsible for running events, so the users can manage the event space for their own groups.
Once the Zoom account owner or admin assigns a Zoom Webinars Plus license to a user, the user gets access to Zoom Webinars through the web portal at the capacity of their Zoom Webinars Plus license. Additionally, account owners and admins can see the webinar capacity shown along with the Zoom Webinars Plus license on the user’s profile page.
Note: The Pay Per Attendee license type for Zoom Webinars Plus does not give access to Zoom Webinars through the web portal. The licensed Pay Per Attendee Webinars Plus user can schedule webinars through Zoom Events.
Account owners and admins can also remove the Zoom Webinars Plus license from a user. If there are upcoming events and the account owner or admin removes the license, the events may possibly be deleted if the license and hub data are not transferred to another user.
Account owners and admins can use advanced SAML mapping to designate Zoom Webinars Plus licenses and add-ons based on a value being passed using SAML.
Notes:
- The Zoom Webinars Plus license holder must have a Zoom account and must be a Licensed user.
- Each hub owner must have a paid Zoom Meeting license.
- All hub host data is tied to the hub owner’s Zoom account.
- If the account admin needs to downgrade or upgrade the license(s), they can downgrade/upgrade the specific license(s) of the user and know which hub and events that are associated with the license will be impacted. All license transfers follow the existing process; the assets belonging to the license (hub) will transfer to the next hub owner. Additionally, the events metering is still tied to each hub.
- The Hub should be created separately based on the license type. The Hub will be endowed with the attendee limitation, which corresponds to the license the user has when the Hub or Session is created.
