Assign the Partner Seat to partner employees

The Partner Seat is a free seat that gives eligible HubSpot Solutions Partner and Provider employees potential access to all features in a client's HubSpot account. Once you've assigned a partner to a Partner Seat, you can set their permissions that client account. 

This article covers working with the basic Partner Seat available to all partners. For more comprehensive permissions, learn about Partner Admin access. 

Understand requirements

• Be eligible Solutions Partner or Provider employees.

3. In the top right, click the Add users dropdown menu and select Create new.

Change a user's seat to a Partner Seat

If you mistakenly added a user to a Core or View-Only Seat and you want to change it to a Partner Seat, there are two ways to do so: in the partner account or in the client's account.

Change to the Partner Seat in the partner's account

The user is automatically granted eligibility and access to a Partner Seat when a Partner Admin makes any permission changes on a user in the Partner account. 

Change to the Partner Seat in the client's account

1. In your HubSpot account, click the settings settings icon in the top navigation bar.
2. In the left sidebar menu, navigate to Users & Teams.
3. Click the Seats tab. 
4. Hover over a user and click Change seat. 
5. In the right panel, click the Seat dropdown menu and select Partner Seat. 
6. In the bottom right, click Save.
