I could only tag 10 people in my post above (#hashtagproblems), so in case anyone has questions for me, you can find me here - @kristinfarwell. I don't expect you will have questions for me, unless it's about plants, dogs, bikes or my rad earrings. 🤣 Happy Skill Exchange Day!!

Hi @kristinfarwell I am guessing this is where I post my questions? I would like to know a bit more about licence distribution and how to optimise collaborator engagement with WorkFront. Especially in scenarios where there is a limited amount of worker/ planner licences and a larger number of collaborators. I am directing this at Trinite in particular as she shared they had a large number of collaborators but any tips or treasures from anyone else are also welcome.

Tagging @trinitebr in this note so she can share a bit more about how they do this at AWS. (If anyone else has thoughts, please feel free to weigh in as well!)

Not a question, but I would love to know more about the System and Group Admin model please!

Hi @nevalee_hedges,

In case you're free, they are working on adding a follow-up Office Hours/Ask the Expert on Friday, September 15. (I'm sure @kristinfarwell or one of us will drop a link here, once it's scheduled.)

In case you're not able to attend, I'll add some of my experience to @tiaca's great points.

Our model is, the System Admin drives the governance, purchasing, strategy/direction, connection to Adobe, and serves as the expert for items the group admins are not familiar with.

The Group Admins are the frontline support, builders, trainers, and knowledge resource for their teams.

Generally, our model is, if your team needs a request queue and templates, your team needs a Group Admin.

We have in the past created a couple levels of "Group Admins," where teams that only needed to manage templates became Super Users.

If you're looking for more specifics or benefits and tradeoffs, I'm happy to share here or in the Office Hours.

I can always make time! Thank you.

We are potentially looking to leverage this model, and I'm here for all the info.

Hi @nicholevargas,

Both the Learn and Grow Track Follow-up pages indicate the recordings will be updated with from the original Skills Exchanges. Is there and ETA as to when we could expect those updated postings? I'm registered for the Spotlight sessions too, but I would like the links to the OG recordings as well. TIA!
