All employees can be found in the Employees tab of the Client Access Manager. Employees with a partner employee email domain will have a checkmark beside their email address. When an employee is added to your client's HubSpot account, they will have access to the Partner Seat

If an employee without a partner employee email domain already exists in the client's account, you must manually link the employee to the client's account for them to receive managed credit. To manually link an employee:

Remove employees from the client's HubSpot account

Partner Admins can remove employees from a client’s account via the Partner account. In order to end the managed relationship between a partner and client, you must remove all employees from the client account. 

Removing all partner employees from the client account does not immediately end a managed relationship between a partner and client. Once all employees are deactivated, the relationship will end 60 days after the last qualifying partner activity in the client account.

Migrate from Super Admin to Partner Admin

Please note: there must be at least one Super Admin in the client account. If you are the only Super Admin in the client account, it will not be possible to change yourself or others to a Partner Admin.
