    Can I send out the same meeting template to multiple employees?

    Meetings are not automatically transferred to new supervisors

    Transfer of meetings does not happen automatically and is not based on "roles" in Huma. It is at the individual level, as specified under "meeting details" for the meeting.

    This means that when a leader deactivates their user account in Huma, the employee taking over the role will not automatically gain access to the meeting or the meeting notes.
