Account owners and admins can easily transfer a Zoom Events or Zoom Sessions 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 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 Events license to a user, the user gets access to Zoom Webinars through the web portal at the capacity of their Zoom Events license. Additionally, account owners and admins can see the Webinar capacity shown along with the Zoom Events license on the user’s profile page.

Note: The Pay Per Attendee license type for Zoom Events does not give access to Webinars through the web portal. The licensed Pay Per Attendee Zoom Events user can schedule Webinars through Zoom Events.

Account owners and admins can also remove the Zoom Events 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 Events licenses and add-ons based on a value being passed using SAML.

Notes:

• The Zoom Events license holder must have a Zoom account and must be a Licensed user.
• If a user already has a high-capacity Zoom Events license, they cannot select a lower-capacity license at this time.
• The Zoom Events license requires a license per hub.
• Each hub owner must have a paid Zoom Meeting license.
• All hub host data is tied to the hub owner’s Zoom account.

How to assign a license to a user

Notes:

• Some users have Zoom Events licenses. If you don’t select it and click Save, their licenses will be removed and they can no longer visit all the relevant assets. You can transfer their Zoom Events licenses and assets to another user.
• Some users have Webinar licenses with features that are included in Zoom Events licenses. By selecting it and clicking Save, their Webinar licenses will be replaced by Zoom Events licenses.
• 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.
