The number of members your organization can have depends on the tier of your organization. All members in your organization can access the resources within the organization. Members can [collaborate](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/projects/collaboration.md) with other team members by adding them to [projects](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/projects.md) they create. Otherwise, members don't have access to projects in your organization. If you are the manager of a Trading Firm or Institution organization, you can grant additional permissions to your team members. ## View All Seats You need a seat for each member in your organization. To see the number of team seats you have in your organization, open the [Billing](https://www.quantconnect.com/organization/billing) page and then scroll down to the **Products** section. ## Add Seats You need [billing permissions](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/organizations/members.md#09-Permissions) within an organization to add team seats. Follow these steps to add team seats to your organization: 1. Open the [organization homepage](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/organizations/administration.md#05-View-the-Organization-Homepage). 2. Click **Edit Plan**. 3. Click the **Customize Plan > Organization Seats** tab. 4. In the **organizationTier Seats** section, click the **plus** icon. 5.

In general, higher organization tiers can have more members within the organization to share resources. This design enables you to [upgrade your organization](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/organizations/billing.md#07-Change-Organization-Tiers) as your trading business grows over time. The following table shows the number of members each organization tier can have: | Tier | Minimum Members | Maximum Members | | --- | --- | --- | | Free | 1 | 1 | | Quant Researcher | 1 | 1 | | Team | 2 | 10 | | Trading Firm | 2 | Unlimited | | Institution | 2 | Unlimited | ## Add Members You need vacant [team seats](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/organizations/members.md#02-View-All-Seats) and [team add permissions](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/organizations/members.md#09-Permissions) within an organization to add team members. Follow these steps to add team members to your organization: 1. Open the [Team Management](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/organizations/members.md#04-View-All-Members) page. 2. Click **Add Member**. 3. Enter the email address of the new team member and then click **Add Member**. The email you enter should be the email the new member uses to log in to their QuantConnect account. 4. If you have team edit permissions, select the permissions for the new member and then click **Save Changes**. Otherwise, click **Cancel**. The Team Management page displays and the new member is included. On the Add Member dialog you can generate a unique link to invite team members to your organization. Anyone with this link can join your organization. The new member must [switch organization](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/organizations/getting-started.md#03-Switch-Organizations) to access its resources and collaborate. ## Add Support Follow these steps to assign support seats to members in your organization: 1.

Before removing members, stop all nodes they are using. Removing members is not reversible and the members will lose access to the organization's projects. On the Team tier, projects that the members created in the organization will remain with the members. On the Trading Firm and Institution tiers, projects that the members created in the organization will be transferred to the organization manager. Follow these steps to remove members from your organization: 1. Open the [Team Management](https://www.quantconnect.com/docs/v2/cloud-platform/organizations/members.md#04-View-All-Members) page. 2. If the Team Management page is in tile view, follow these steps: 1. Click the **three dots** icon in the top-right corner of the member you want to remove and then click **Remove**. ![Remove a team member in grid view](https://cdn.quantconnect.com/i/tu/remove-team-member.png) 2.
