An owner of a company or enterprise is able to purchase multiple seats for an application, to make available to users of their organization. An owner is able to add and remove users at any time for any given application.
To add seats while purchasing an application:

- Click the purchase button.
- Enter your Onshape password.
- A confirmation dialog appears, providing more information about your purchase.
- Click Close to dismiss the dialog.
Once you purchase multiple seats for an app, you can manage the users who are allowed to use that app. You have the ability to change users who can use the app and change the number of seats.
- On the Applications tab of the Enterprise settings page, select the app you wish to manage.
- On the page that appears, increase the number of seats you wish to pay for: enter a value in the field and click Update.
A confirmation dialog appears and your changes take effect immediately.
- In the Add users or teams field, enter the email addresses of the users (or the names of the teams) who should have access to the application, and click Add. Note that these users or teams must already be members of the enterprise.
-
More seats are automatically added to the application purchase if the number of seats subscribed to a free application is exceeded.
-
Light users in teams will not count against the number of seats for the application.
- To remove a user's or team's access to the application, click the X next to their name in the list.
Adding teams to application purchases prevents adding team members to the team if there are not enough seats available.
Through the My account area and Applications tab, users have the ability to take action on the apps used with their Onshape account.
- Revoke - Remove an app's access to Onshape data. This does not remove the app from Onshape. If you use this app again, you will be prompted to allow access to your Onshape data.
- Authorize Application - Authorize the purchased app to access your Onshape data. You see this option in an Onshape document: Click the icon > Add Application > application-name. A new tab opens and becomes active in your Onshape document.
- Control application access to my documents individually through the Share dialog?
- Some applications prompt you to allow the app access to all your Onshape documents. If you would like to have control on a per document basis, turn this option on.
If you have granted access prior to turning this switch on, that access is still granted. If you turn this switch off, all access previously granted is still granted. When this switch is on, you must use the Share dialog to allow a specific application access to a specific document.
