Organisation Users

Each user has an Organisation Role that controls what Organisation information they can access and manage in the Admin Console.

Organisation User Roles at a Glance:

Role
Permissions Include

Super Admin

Everything. Full control over the Organisation, Project management, Users, Settings, Billing - even deletion.

System Admin


Alongside their Organisation Role, Users can also be granted a Planner and/or Diary Seat. Seats are paid and will determine if the user has the possibility of accessing Planner and Diary in each Project they are invited to:

Paid Seat
Entitlement

Diary access and Full Planner access is determined at the Project level, but Users must first be assigned the correct seat to be eligible.


You can assign or revoke Seats individually, in bulk, or during the user invite flow.

  • Indiviual Assignment:

    • Click on a specific User to open their slide-in panel

Seat states help you understand whether a user holds a paid seat and whether they're actually using it on active projects.

There are three seat states for Planner and Diary:

Each invoice on the Subscription & Billing page has a download menu with three options: the Tax Invoice, the Billed Seats Record, and a Seat Apportionment pack.

To download from an invoice:

  • Open the Admin App and select Subscription & Billing

  • Locate the invoice you need

  • Click Download on the invoice row

  • Select Tax Invoice


Seat Apportionment breaks a monthly Planner or Diary invoice down by Project, and by Business Unit if your Organisation uses them. It shows what share of the billed seats each Project accounts for, and the named people behind that share. Forward each Project's page to whoever pays for that Project, as evidence for internal cost recovery.

Shares are shown as seats and as a percentage of the invoice, never as a dollar amount. Use your Tax Invoice to work out the cost.

To download a Seat Apportionment pack:

  • Open the Admin App and select Subscription & Billing

  • Locate a monthly Planner or Diary invoice

  • Click Download on the invoice row

  • Select Seat Apportionment

    How Planner & Diary Seats Work
    Planner Seat
    Diary Seat
    • Turning a Planner Seat on gives the User the ability to access Planner in any Project they’re part of, and they’ll be included in billing.

    • If a Planner Seat is removed, any Projects where the user had Full Planner Access will automatically downgrade them to Limited access.

    • Users with Planner Seats count toward your billed seat total - this directly affects your Organisation’s subscription cost.

    • Turning a Diary Seat on gives the User the ability to access Diary in any Project they’re part of.

    • If a Diary Seat is removed, any Projects where the user had Diary Access will automatically remove their access.

    • Only Super Admins and System Admins can manage Diary Seat assignments at the organisation level.

    A Diary Seat is Idle when:

    What's in the Pack
    PDF
    What it shows

    Summary

    Every Project's share of the invoice, as seats and % of invoice, grouped by Business Unit where used. Idle seats have their own row, and the total always matches the seats billed

    Every PDF shows the invoice number it relates to.

    How Seats are Split
    • Each billed seat is split evenly across the active Projects its holder has access to. A user on two Projects counts as 0.50 of a seat on each

    • Idle seats (paid seats whose holder has no access on any active Project) stay on the invoice but aren't put against any Project

    • Planner and Diary invoices each get their own pack and are never combined

    • A Diary pack only includes Projects with Diary enabled, so the same person's seat can split differently across their Planner and Diary packs

    • Every page adds back up exactly to the seats on that invoice

    Example: an invoice bills 30 Planner seats. Priya has access to Project A and Project B, so each gets 0.50 of her seat. Once every user is split this way, Project A might total 3.58 seats, or 11.9% of the invoice.

    When Seat Apportionment is Unavailable

    The option stays in the menu but is greyed out, with the reason shown on hover, when:

    • Your Organisation doesn't have Seat Apportionment enabled. The tooltip reads: Seat Apportionment is available on Enterprise plan. Speak to your account manager to enable it.

    • The invoice is annual, quarterly or one-off. Only monthly, per-seat Planner and Diary invoices can be broken down

    • The invoice is from a billing cycle before Seat Apportionment was released, so there's no seat record to break down

    Seat Apportionment is download only. It isn't sent automatically with your invoice.
