# Understand the Subscription Manager Role

> Learn how subscription managers set up teacher access, install Pear Deck for their school, and use the Administrator Dashboard.

Subscription managers oversee a school-wide or domain-wide Pear Deck Premium subscription. Your role includes onboarding teachers to Premium, installing Pear Deck across your school's platform, and accessing usage data through the Administrator Dashboard.

## Understand How Teachers Get Premium Access

When your subscription is set up, the GoGuardian team requests a list of teachers to include. Each teacher receives a welcome email asking them to confirm their Pear Deck account. They click **Confirm Your Pear Deck Account** and sign in with their existing Google or Microsoft Office 365 account — no new password required.

![Confirm your Pear Deck account](https://support.goguardian.com/servlet/rtaImage?eid=ka0Vu0000002K4H\&feoid=00N1K00000ed3rb\&refid=0EM4N000003Lku5)

For school-wide (non-domain) subscriptions, you can also add or remove individual teachers at any time from your My Account page. See [Manage a School Subscription](/products/pear-deck/manage-school-subscription) for steps. Teachers added this way receive Premium access immediately but do not receive a welcome email.

For domain-wide subscriptions, every teacher who signs in with your school's domain has Premium access automatically. There is no teacher list to manage.

## Install Pear Deck for Teachers

To give your teachers seamless access to Pear Deck, install the appropriate add-on or add-in for your school's platform before they begin using it.

* **Google Workspace schools:** Install the Pear Deck for Google Slides Add-on from the [Google Workspace Marketplace](https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/pear_deck_for_google_slides/509078249686). You can also install the optional [Pear Deck Power-Up](/products/pear-deck/install-power-up-domain-wide) — a free Chrome extension that ensures videos, animations, and GIFs in Google Slides play correctly during Instructor-Paced sessions.
* **Microsoft 365 schools:** Deploy the [Pear Deck for PowerPoint Online Add-in](/products/pear-deck/install-powerpoint-online-add-in) through your Microsoft 365 Admin Center.

Domain-wide installation means teachers do not need to install the add-on or add-in themselves. It appears automatically when they open Google Slides or PowerPoint Online.

## Log In as a Subscription Manager

You receive the same welcome email as your teachers. Sign in with your Google or Microsoft Office 365 account to access Pear Deck Home. From there:

1. Go to [app.peardeck.com/home](https://app.peardeck.com/home).

2. Click your profile picture in the upper-right corner of the page.

3. Select **My Account** from the menu.

   ![Pear Deck Home with the profile picture menu open and My Account highlighted](https://support.goguardian.com/servlet/rtaImage?eid=ka0Vu0000002K4H\&feoid=00N1K00000ed3rb\&refid=0EMVu000001l2Qn)

4. Verify the result: Your plan information and the Administrator Dashboard appear on the My Account page.

## Use the Administrator Dashboard

The Administrator Dashboard gives you visibility into how teachers and students use Pear Deck across your school. Access it from your My Account page.

### View Engagement and Usage Data

The **Engagements + Usage** section shows year-over-year Pear Deck activity for your school or district:

* **Total Presentations tab:** Shows how many times teachers have started a Pear Deck session.
* **Student Usage tab:** Shows the total number of students who participated in a session each year.

### Restrict Student Join Access

To limit which students can join your teachers' sessions, go to the **Administrator Settings** tab and set an allowed domain for student email addresses. See [Restrict Student Join Access by Domain](/products/pear-deck/restrict-student-join-access-by-domain) for steps.

### Manage Teachers (School-Wide Subscriptions)

The **Group Usage** section lists all teachers currently on your Premium subscription. From here you can:

* Click **Add One Member** to add a single teacher by email address.
* Click **Bulk Add/Edit Members** to add or update multiple teachers at once.
* Click the **X** next to any teacher to remove them from the subscription.

![Administrator Dashboard Group Usage tab](https://support.goguardian.com/servlet/rtaImage?eid=ka0Vu0000002K4H\&feoid=00N1K00000ed3rb\&refid=0EM4N000006GXYn)

Adding a teacher here gives them immediate Premium access without a confirmation email. Removing a teacher ends their Premium access under your plan but does not delete their Pear Deck account or presentations.

For detailed steps, see [Manage a School Subscription](/products/pear-deck/manage-school-subscription).

### Set Up LMS Integrations (District Subscriptions)

For district-level subscriptions, the **LMS/LTI Integrations** tab provides the Key and Secret values needed to connect Pear Deck to Canvas or Schoology. See [Install Pear Deck in Canvas](/products/pear-deck/install-pear-deck-in-canvas) or [Install Pear Deck in Schoology](/products/pear-deck/install-pear-deck-in-schoology) for setup instructions.
