The AccessAlly Teams feature enables bulk course enrollment, where one purchase includes multiple “seats” inside your membership site.
Each Team has a single leader (the person who purchased the license) and a designated number of “Child” users.
Team Leaders Can…
- Add or remove Child users on their team
- Purchase, upgrade, and cancel the Team account
Note that team leaders are not admins, and have no ability to add content to the site. The team leader role does not have access to the backend of WordPress or any admin functions inside the site.
The list of tutorials on this page show you how to set up and manage the Teams Feature on your AccessAlly membership site.

How The Teams Feature Works
The teams feature is a great option when you want to market and sell your content to corporations or businesses. Here are two examples of when you might want to use this feature:
- Corporate training, a single representative from a company purchases access to a program, then creates unique logins for “X” numbers of their team members/employees.
- Classroom education resources, a single representative from a school or organization purchases access to a program or course, then adds each student to give them access.
Every team is set up by you, as the site admin, with a specified number of spots (you can always change this number at any time). When a team license is purchased, there is a designated leader (also called a “parent user” or “team admin”). This leader has the ability to decide who is added to their team.

How To Create & Sell Team Licenses
STEP 1: Configure The Team
You can create as many team license types as you want. In this step, you’ll configure the team permission tags and decide how many users each team will start out with (you can always add more at a later date, even after the team is in use).

STEP 2: Create a Management Page For the Team Parent
Next, create a new page inside your membership site. This page will include all of the “management” elements for the team parent users, allowing them to perform actions like adding or removing child user accounts.

STEP 3: Create An Order Form To Sell Team Licenses
Now, you’re ready to set up the order form that creates the team and designated the purchaser as the Team Parent user. Learn how in this tutorial: How to Set up the Order Form and Automation for the Teams Feature
If you’re using a different shopping cart or order form system, you can still initialize a team through your CRM’s automation, follow this guide: Creating a Team through your CRM Automation
NOTE: Pay special attention to the “advanced” team replacement option in this tutorial, for situations where you wish to upgrade (or downgrade) team permissions.
(Advanced) STEP 4: Customize Team Dashboard Page
If you’d like, you can customize the look and feel of the Team Dashboard to include progress tracking from AccessAlly Pro. Learn how in this tutorial: Team Dashboard Page Customization
IMPORTANT: TEST YOUR TEAM SETUP
Before you make your team feature “live” to clients, please take the time to test your setup by following this tutorial: How To Test Your Teams Setup
Ongoing Management For Active Teams
There are a few different features to help you manage your team licenses successfully.
Use The Management Area To Manually Alter Active Teams
The first option you have is to manually alter active teams as an admin, using the “Team Management” area. Here, you can increase or decrease team sizes manually, without requiring the parent user to take any further action themselves (so they don’t need to place an order to purchase additional slots).
Increase or Decrease The Size of Active Teams
If you want to give your clients the option to purchase additional”child accounts” for their team, you can automate the process with an order form purchase.
Cancel Or Revoke Access To An Active Team
Finally, if you need to delete a team inside AccessAlly, please understand the correct process involved.

If Something Goes Wrong…
In the event that you, as the site admin, run into an issue when managing your teams, the Team Log will be extremely helpful to identify when – and where – the trouble happened. Learn how to use this feature here: How to Read the Team Log
