Where a seminar activity has been set to Allow manager reservations, Staff Managers (i.e. users with direct reports) can reserve or allocate spaces for a seminar event for members of their team.

Reserving spaces allows managers to secure a pre-determined number of spaces on a session for their team. This is helpful when it is not yet known who will be attending from a team. Managers can also reserve seminar spaces for other managers if required.

Allocating spaces allows managers to assign a pre-determined number of spaces on a session for specific members in their team. 

To be able to Allocate or Reserve spaces, a manager needs the relevant permissions and capabilities in the context of the course. Please see Assign reservation and allocate access permissions for instructions on assigning access rights.
