Managing Seats on Claude for Work (Annual Invoiced Contracts)
Updated over a week ago

Seat management is currently available to Primary Owners of Claude for Work plans on annual invoiced contracts.

As a Claude for Work customer on an annual invoiced contract, you can flexibly manage and add seats to your organization beyond your initial contract allocation. This article explains how seat management works and what to expect regarding billing.

Understanding Seat Management

Key Points

  • You can add seats beyond your initial contract allocation at any time

  • New seats are billed at your contract's existing per-user price

  • While seats cannot be removed from your total allocation, you can reassign them to different team members

How Billing Works

  • You'll receive an invoice immediately when new seats are added

  • Each new seat is prorated for the remainder of your annual term

  • For auto-renewal contracts, your renewal will include the total number of seats in use at the end of your term

Adding and Managing Seats

To manage your seats:

  1. Go to your Billing Settings

  2. Under “Seats” click the pencil icon

  3. Make any necessary seat increases

  4. Review your increase carefully before confirming your purchase

  5. Click “Upgrade” to finalize your changes

Billing Example

Here's how billing works when adding seats:

If you start with 100 seats on January 1st and:

  • Add 5 more seats on March 1st

You will receive an invoice immediately for:

  • The 5 seats added (billed for 10 months remaining in the term)

SSO and SCIM Integration

If your organization uses SSO or SCIM:

  • Primary Owners must add seats before new users can sign in via SSO

  • SCIM provisioning requires available seats for new user addition

  • We recommend monitoring your seat usage and adding seats proactively to ensure uninterrupted access for your team
