Details

Background of displaying manual owner's name on guests

Assuming the case where guests are issued for outside the company, the manual owner is not displayed in guests for the purpose of information protection.
However, in recent years, Teachme Biz users tend to create fewer guest accounts for external use, and most of them are created for internal use.
In this situation, the problem arises that the manual owner is not displayed in guests, making it difficult to know who to contact for inquiries or to request modifications.
This release was made to solve the above-mentioned problem.

Correspondence
