First Steps
You can add a seat to your team, change the plan of a seat and remove a person from the team.
As the team admin, you change the seats of your team on the **Team** tab of your customer area on the KOSMA website. Each seat is for one person and has its own plan. Plans belong to the seats: on the **Subscription** tab you cannot change them while you run a team.
Add a seat as in step 2 of [set up a team licence](/kb/article/set-up-a-team), or choose another plan in the row of a seat. KOSMA carries out both only when you apply the changes (step 2 below), and sends the invitation email then. If a paid seat is vacant, the new person gets it at no cost. Otherwise, you pay for the new seat for the rest of the term.
When a paid seat becomes free after a removal, a **Free seat** row appears. Enter an email address in it and click **Assign**. KOSMA sends this invitation at once, without **Apply Changes**.
A higher plan applies at once; today you pay only for the rest of the term. A lower plan takes effect at the end of the paid term, without credit.
Click **Apply Changes** below the summary. If the changes cost something today, the button reads **Apply Changes and Pay** followed by the amount. To discard all collected changes, click **Cancel** below the button.
Click **Remove seat** in the person's row. KOSMA opens **Remove Seat** with two choices. With **Cancel at end of term**, the person keeps the seat until the term ends. With **Revoke access**, they lose it as soon as you apply the changes. Either way, you pay for the seat until the end of the term, without credit, and can give it to someone else at any time.
For a seat that is **Active**, both choices delete the person's KOSMA account 7 days after the seat ends. In those 7 days, the person can hand over their projects and export data. Project files stored on their computer stay readable. For an **Invited** seat, no account is deleted.
KOSMA saves **Cancel at end of term** at once, without **Apply Changes**. **Undo seat cancellation** appears in the row, and KOSMA removes a lower plan scheduled for the seat. A person with an **Active** seat falls back to Free when the term ends.
After **Revoke access**, the row shows **Will be removed** and **Undo** until you click **Apply Changes**. A person with an active seat then falls back to Free at once and gets an email. An invited seat ends without an email.
