Managing Teams In Achieve Connect
Learn how to create and manage Teams to organize advisors and control access to learner data in Achieve Connect
What Are Teams?
In Achieve Connect, Teams are used to group advisors and learners into distinct permission-based units. Each Team acts as a container that controls which learners an advisor can view and manage. This structure is especially useful for financial institutions that work with multiple advisors or branches and want to ensure data privacy and localized reporting.
Note: Teams are only available in Achieve Connect, not in standard Achieve. If you're unsure which version you're using, check with your Customer Success Manager.
Why Use Teams?
Teams help you:
- Segment learners by advisor, branch, or region
- Restrict advisor access to only their assigned learners
- Enable personalized branding and contact info per team
- Simplify reporting by grouping learners under their advisor’s team
- Automate learner assignment through invitation-based registration
How Teams Work
Each advisor is assigned as a Team Manager. When a learner registers using that advisor’s invitation link, they are automatically added to the advisor’s team. This ensures that advisors only see the learners they’ve invited and can manage their progress, reporting, and communications accordingly.

Fill in the required fields:
