Make a user's seat Named

Named users can always log in regardless of whether there are any concurrent seats available. If you want to keep a user's seat type (Standard or Review Only) but make sure it is reserved, you can quickly change it on the Edit screen. If you want to change the seat type and make it Named, you can open up the user's information and editing both of those settings.

There are two types of Named seat options:

Standard Named (The number of users that have reserved seats out of the number of seats in your license.)
- Named users can always log in regardless of whether there are any concurrent seats available.
- Standard users can access all features of Inspire by default but access can be limited in Inspire by an administrator.
Review Only Named (The number of users that have reserved seats to access the Review module ONLY out of the number of seats in your license.)
- Named users can always sign in to access a review regardless of whether there are any concurrent seats available.
- Review Only users can only access the Review module in Inspire. An administrator cannot add access to any other modules for a user with this type of seat.
