Managing Seats

Table of Contents

Manage how many members can access your DNSimple account and allocate seats on eligible plans.

Note

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

The Teams plan includes one seat at no additional cost, allowing you to have one member actively involved in domain management. Any seats beyond the initial one incur extra costs. 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.

Note

You cannot add a user whose email address matches the account notification email. First change the notification email (we recommend a generic address such as admin@ or billing@), then add the user.

Automatic seat allocation with SSO

If you have configured single sign-on (SSO) with Google, Okta, or Microsoft Entra, seat allocation can be managed automatically based on your organization configuration.
