warning

When you remove a team member, they will lose all access to the project immediately. Make sure this is intentional before confirming.

Organization Team Management​

Organization Projects​

If your project belongs to an organization, team management works slightly differently:

Organization Administrators​

  • Can add themselves to any organization project
  • Can manage project teams across the organization
  • Can access billing and seat management

Seat Management​

For organization accounts with seat limits:

  • Each team member on a private project occupies a seat
  • Public projects don't require seats
  • Organization owners can manage seat allocation
  • Removing users from projects frees up seats

Adding Organization Members​

Organization administrators can add themselves to projects:

  1. Go to the organization account page
  2. Find the project in the projects list
  3. Click the dropdown arrow
  4. Select "Add me as admin"
