License management for group licenses

Jan Krohn

I just noticed the info panel "License management is now available in Admin Portal."

Since license management in Faithlife groups is a bit cumbersome, I found that notice very intriguing. However, when I go to the admin panel, it says that I need Logos for church, or Logos for education to access it.

Now my questions:

1. Do I get access to the admin portal if I change the group type from "organization" to "church" or to "school"? If I do that, will it have other ramifications for the group or its members?
2. Is the new license management actually worth it? If it's just the same application in a different portal, it wouldn't make sense to go through any hassle to gain access.

Thanks for inquiring, Jan! I agree that Faithlife groups is cumbersome for license management and I'm very excited for the rollout of Admin Portal.

Do I get access to the admin portal if I change the group type from "organization" to "church" or to "school"?

Sorry to say that you will not get access by changing the group type. However, we are in the process of building out support for existing groups so that you can begin using Admin Portal for license management in the coming months.

Is the new license management actually worth it? If it's just the same application in a different portal, it wouldn't make sense to go through any hassle to gain access.

Absolutely. You can get an idea of what Admin Portal offers by looking at our Help Center article here. And because it's actively in development, there are improvements made (and more to come) that aren't yet reflected in that article.
