Seats and viewers

Learn who needs a seat and what viewers can do for free. Add or reassign seats in your Felt workspace.

You need a seat to create maps, upload or edit data, capture field data, work offline, or use Felt AI. One kind of seat covers field, office, and admin work. People without a seat are viewers, who can view and comment for free on every plan.

Each plan includes a number of seats and viewers. You can add seats to a paid plan. The amounts and seat prices are on the Felt pricing page.

Seats and access

Access determines what someone can do on each map, project, data source, or workspace. Admin, Edit, and Contribute access need a seat, and View access doesn't. See Permissions.

A seat belongs to the workspace, not to a person, so an admin can reassign it to whoever needs it next. See Reassign a seat.

Viewers

Viewers don't have a seat. They can view and comment on maps shared with them for free. How viewers count depends on how you share:

• Public maps need no login, and public viewing doesn't count toward your viewer limit. Each load counts toward your map views.

• Private maps need a free Felt account. Everyone added to the workspace, a project, or a map without a seat counts as one of the workspace's viewers, including external collaborators.

At the viewer limit, you can't invite more viewers. An admin can remove viewers to make room. See Manage members.

Reassign a seat

To reassign a seat, you need Admin access to the workspace.

1. Click your workspace name in the sidebar, then click Workspace settings.

2. Click the Members tab.

3. In the Seat type column, click the entry for the person who no longer needs a seat, and select Viewer. The seat is now available to reassign.

4. In the Seat type column, click the entry for the person who needs the seat, and select Seat.

To remove someone from the workspace, which also frees their seat, see Manage members.

Add seats

To add seats, you need Admin access to the workspace.

1. Go to felt.com/maps/latest/billing, or click your workspace name in the sidebar, click Workspace settings, and click the Billing tab.

2. In the Seats section, click Manage seats.

When every seat is assigned, giving someone a seat shows You’ve run out of seats. To free one up, reassign a seat.
