Assign Billing and Seat Managers as Collaborators in Your Team

Overview

A billing and seat manager is a free Apollo seat for leadership team members who only need access to administrative features in your Apollo instance.

You may want to become a billing and seat manager in Apollo if you are not directly involved in your team's sales activities but still want:

• Access to billing and payment settings.
• The ability to configure your team's account settings and manage seats.

As a billing and seat manager in your team's account, you have access to the following Apollo features:

• Admin and billing settings.
• Tracking subdomain and integration settings.
• System activity settings.
• Apollo homepage.
• Analytics and reporting.

As a billing and seat manager, you can configure all the core admin settings in your team's instance. However, you do not have access to the full functionality of Apollo. This means you can view your team's performance but can't leverage Apollo's prospecting and engagement tools yourself. If you want full access to Apollo, upgrade your seat to leverage full admin or user rights.

Refer to the following steps to add, edit, or deactivate billing and seat manager permissions to users in your Apollo account.

Will I be Charged for Billing and Seat Manager Users?

Seats for billing and seat managers are free of charge in Apollo. If you have access to this feature within your Apollo plan, you can invite up to 5 team members to join your account as billing and seat managers.

As Apollo does not charge you for billing and seat manager users, please keep in mind that:

• If you change a full Apollo user into a billing and seat manager, the user loses paid access to Apollo and gains restricted admin access only. Apollo frees up their paid seat. You can then invite another user to take their place. Please only continue with the downgrade if you agree with the seat change.
• If you change a billing and seat manager into a full Apollo user when you don't have any available seats remaining on your plan, Apollo charges you for the extra seat. Apollo warns you of the purchase and confirms the cost. Please only continue with the upgrade if you agree with the seat change.
• If you change a billing and seat manager into a full Apollo user when you have available seats in your plan, Apollo upgrades the user to full access at no extra cost. Apollo warns you of the seat consumption. Please only continue with the upgrade if you agree with the seat change.
• If you deactivate a billing and seat manager, no changes to your billing will occur. You will have a free Apollo manager seat available and can invite another team member to replace them as a billing and seat manager if you want to.
