Managing Seats

Last updated

Table of Contents


Seats set how many members can access your DNSimple account. Add seats before you invite more members, and remove them when members leave.

Note

Account seats for additional team members are only available on Teams or Enterprise plans.

The Teams plan includes one seat. Each additional seat costs $29. Enterprise plans have custom pricing and seat numbers. See our pricing page for more details.

A DNSimple account can have one or more members. When you add a member, you can set their level of access. For how users, accounts, and members relate, see Users, Accounts, and Members at DNSimple.

Automatic seat allocation with SSO

If you have configured single sign-on (SSO) with Google, Okta, or Microsoft Entra, DNSimple adds a seat to the account when a member joins through your identity provider, and removes the seat when your identity provider removes the member. Seats added this way are billed like any other seat.
