Frequently asked questions
A user is each person who logs in to SafetyCulture. Each user has a user account and a username which, in SafetyCulture, is their email address. To access SafetyCulture's features, each user requires a seat. Depending on each user's seat type, the cost and features they can access vary.
If you need to make seats available for new users, you can deactivate or remove existing users beforehand. If your organization is on the Premium Plan or Enterprise Plan, don't forget that you can also change the seat type for users.
