About Product Seat
Updated
When you create or update a user in Sprinklr, you must select a Product Seat. The Product Seat determines which Sprinklr product areas the user can access and which workflows and interfaces are available to them.
This article is intended for Sprinklr Admins who provision users and need guidance on selecting the most appropriate Product Seat based on a user’s role and day‑to‑day responsibilities.
Selecting the correct Product Seat ensures that users see the right navigation options, can perform the tasks required for their role, and do not encounter missing features or irrelevant workflows.
Note: Product Seat options shown in your environment depend on the Sprinklr products that are enabled for your organization.
Before you choose a Product Seat
Before assigning a Product Seat, consider what tasks the user will perform in Sprinklr, whether they will publish content, manage campaigns, respond to customer messages, or work in a distributed publishing model, and whether they need access to specialized workflows such as agent‑based service tools or distributed user experiences.
The Product Seat you select affects which Sprinklr product area the user can access and see in the platform, even though detailed permissions are managed separately.
Points to Remember
Product Seat options vary by environment and reflect the products enabled for your organization. Assign a Product Seat that aligns with the primary responsibilities of the user.
Users who work across multiple Sprinklr product areas may require a Product Seat that supports broader access. Changing a user’s Product Seat later may change the product areas and workflows they can access.
Note: Access to specific capabilities may depend on your Sprinklr subscription. For details about what’s included in your subscription, contact your Sprinklr representative.

The following sections explain each Product Seat at a high level and help you understand when to choose it and what access it provides, so you can make an informed decision during user provisioning.
