Careful pre-seminar planning helps a seminar run smoothly and streamlines follow‑up activities.
When your organization purchased Seminars, it contracted for a specific number of seminar licenses. The number of seminar attendees should never exceed the number of concurrent users allowed for your seminar license. Your Seminars administrator has information about how many licenses your organization purchased. If you think you may need more licenses, let the administrator know early.
Seminar files and folders are stored in the Seminar library. Users who have the correct permissions can manage and organize these files and folders. You reach the Seminar library through the Seminar Rooms tab. When you click the Seminar Rooms tab, the Seminar List page displays the contents of the Shared Seminars folder. Depending on your permissions, you can create these seminars or modify them.
Attendance permissions (sometimes called role permissions) define attendee roles in a seminar, such as participant, presenter, and host. You assign these permissions when you create a seminar. However, the seminar host can also modify them during the seminar and after the seminar is over by editing the participant list.
Seminar library permissions determine who can manage the library folders. Of the six built‑in groups, only administrators have Manage permissions for the Shared Seminar folder. Authors, training managers, meeting hosts, seminar hosts, and event managers are assigned Denied permissions by default. The administrator can override those default permissions and allow others fuller access to the Shared Seminar folder. (There are no Publish or View permission types as there are for the Content library.) To manage folders other than the Shared Seminar folder, you must have Manage permissions for that folder in the Seminar library.
Depending on the type and purpose of a given seminar, the seminar host may want to have the guests register. If so, the host must have Adobe Connect Events as part of the Enterprise Manager application, because registration for any meeting, training, presentation, or seminar can only be done through the Event Management tab. If the host has this tab, they must first create the seminar from the Seminar Rooms tab using the Seminar wizard. Then, they create an event and select the seminar they have created as the event. If the seminar is presented as an event, all guests, regardless of whether they have an Acrobat Connect Enterprise account or whether the URL is public, must provide registration information prior to the seminar.
