In general, StepShot account has 3 levels of membership:

Owner – can fully manage it, empower team members, or delete them.

Admin – can either change rights or delete all team members except Owner

User – isn’t allowed to make any changes in the account

All team members can fully enjoy StepShot functionality.

As an Account Owner/Admin, you can change the rights of other users (1) or make them inactive (2).

StepShot licenses can be re-assigned:

If a person leaves the team/project, you can make this user inactive and assign their license to another person.

You can also check if the invited user is registered already.

If yes, they will receive an email informing about your invitation.

If no, they will be asked to sign up.

To delete a person from your workspace, press X located next to the email address.

Note: You can add an unlimited number of users to your workspace, BUT the number of users who can simultaneously access the functionality is limited to the number of purchased license seats.

Please note: We offer per-seat licensing, which means that e.g. purchasing 1 StepShot Guides Pro subscription doesn’t provide your invited users with the opportunity to use it. 1 license = access for 1 person.

Important:

You can use the same license on all workstations that belong to you (with your credentials).

You are allowed to install your license on temporary workstations, like when visiting your client.

You are not allowed to transfer your license to third parties – to your teammates, customers, virtual assistants (VAs), etc.
