    Assign Seats dialog

An assignee receives an invitation email, creates or logs in to their Lens ID, and accepts their subscription seat invitation. They must then activate Lens Desktop. There are two ways for users to activate Lens Desktop:

  • Online

    Standard activation. Seats may be reassigned to other users at any time

  • Offline

    Activation for air-gapped environments. Seats are fixed to the user and no changes will be possible until the end of the subscription term

Users that have done Offline activation will have a check mark in the Offline column:

the Offline column in Manage Seats

Warning

Unassigning an Offline activated subscription seat by the Lens Business ID administrator, switches it to the cancelled state, so no other user can be assigned to the seat until the end of the subscription term.

To unassign a subscription seat:

  1. As the Lens Business ID administrator, navigate to Manage Seats.
  2. Select a subscription seat to unassign and click the Options button on the right.
