Learn about team roles, member management, SSO, usage controls, and billing for organizational teams
Roles
Teams have access to three user roles to help manage teams. Each role has specific permissions and billing implications.
Member (default)
- Access to all Business features
- Can invite team members
- Billed for a user seat
Admin
Admins have comprehensive control over team management and security settings to ensure smooth team operations.
- Full team management capabilities:
- Invite/remove team members
- Modify team roles
- Usage and security controls:
- Toggle usage-based pricing
- Configure SSO & domain verification
- Set organization-wide spending caps
- Access to admin dashboard
- Billed for a user seat
Unpaid Admin
Unpaid Admins manage the team without using a paid seat - ideal for IT staff who don’t need Cursor access.
- Same capabilities as Admin
- Not billed for a user seat
- Requires at least one paid Admin on the team to assign this role

Managing members
All members in the team can invite other members. We currently do not have any way to control invites.
Add member
Email invitation
- Click the
Invite Membersbutton - Enter email addresses
Invite link
- Click the
Invite Membersbutton - Copy the
Invite Link - Share with team members
Invite links do not expire and anyone who gets access to the link can join a team. You can prevent this by setting up SSO
Remove member
Admins can remove members at any time by clicking the context menu and then “Remove”. We’ll only charge for time the member was in the team
Change role
Admins can change roles for other members by clicking the context menu and then “Change role”. There has to be at least one Admin per team
Security & SSO
SAML 2.0 Single Sign-On (SSO) is available on Business and Enterprise plans. Key features:
- Configure SSO connections (learn more about SSO setup)
- Set up domain verification
- Automatic user enrollment through SSO
- SSO enforcement options
- Identity provider integration (Okta, etc)
Usage Controls
Access usage settings to:
- Enable usage-based pricing
- Enable for usage-based for premium models
- Set admin-only modifications for usage-based pricing settings
- Set monthly spending limits
- Monitor team-wide usage
Billing
When adding new team members:
- Each new member or admin adds a billable seat (see pricing)
- Seat changes are prorated for your billing period
- Unpaid admin seats are not counted
Adding new team members in the middle of a month, we’ll only charge you for the days they actually use. Similarly, if someone leaves the team, we’ll credit your account for any unused days.
If you change someone’s role (e.g from Admin to Unpaid Admin), we’ll automatically adjust the billing from the day of the change. You can choose to be billed either monthly or yearly - both options are available to suit your needs.
Switching from monthly to yearly billing
You can save 20% of the Business plan by switching from monthly to yearly billing. This can be done from the dashboard
- Go to settings
- In the account section, click on “Advanced” then “Upgrade to yearly billing”
Please note that you can only switch from monthly to yearly billing self-service. To switch from yearly to monthly billing, please contact us at [email protected].
