Managed WaitList

If Managed Waitlist is enabled, the Admin will be notified when a permit becomes available to be assigned to users on a waitlist. It will automatically be reserved to be assigned to the users on the wait list. The admin will be able to choose who to assign this permit to add it to the user's cart. The Admin will email the user and give them a specific amount of time to pay for the permit before it expires and can be given to someone else.
