Overview & background
The Account Owner and any Account Managers can effectively manage their user count directly from the account 'People' tab on the web version of Fieldwire. In addition, the Account Owner and any Account Managers can determine which projects, and the level of access, their users should have.
Since Fieldwire is priced on a per-user basis, the Account People tab is the best means to capture exactly who you, as the Account Owner, are paying for.
Furthermore, you can utilize the Project People tab to view each user that is on your project. Here, you can view the company, phone number, project permission set, and whether or not the user is covered under your, or their own Account. Managing Project Users effectively is integral to ensuring that your users have access to the content they need.
- Subscriptions: Basic, Pro, Business, and Premier
- Permissions: The Account owner and any Account Managers can add or remove users from the Account People tab. Project Admins can add and remove users, both Members and Followers can access the Project People tab.
- Platforms: Web
Keep in mind that removing users from an individual project will not remove a user from the account. If you'd like to remove any users from the account entirely, they'd need to be removed from the Account People tab.

The Account People tab
The Account People tab is where the Account Owner and Account Managers can control the total number of users on their account and can invite users to multiple projects in bulk. Fieldwire is priced on a per-user basis, the Account People tab is where you can see who is covered under your account. Take a look at the sections below for more information on how to manage your users.

How to remove people from your account (and all projects)
When a user no longer needs access to your account or projects, you can remove them from both. Once removed, the user will no longer count towards your billing and total user count. To ensure you are only paying for those who are actively using the tool, it's imperative to remove your users when they no longer need access - to do so, follow the steps below:
Step 1: The Account Owner or an Account Manager can log in on app.fieldwire.com and head to the People tab:
Step 2: Find the user you'd like to remove and select the permission level dropdown; then select 'Remove'.
The Project People Tab
The Project People tab differs from the Account People tab - here you can see who is on the contingent project, their permission level, and whether or not they are covered under your account or their own subscription. Open any Project in your Account and head to the People option in the lefthand menu to add, remove, and/or change permissions for your project users:
How to Invite a user
Any Project Admins can invite users to the project - to do so, select the '+New users' option in the top-left corner of the screen - then enter the emails of one or more users, separated by commas, determine the project access level and choose to 'Send Invites': 
After the user receives an email - they will be prompted to accept the invite and set up the account if they do not currently have a Fieldwire account. If the user already has a Fieldwire Account, then they will automatically see the project on their Project Dashboard.
Note: Users can send no more than 100 invitations per day. If you exceed this limit, you will not be able to send another invitation until 24 hours have elapsed since the 100th invitation:
How to remove a user
To remove a user, any project admin can select the three vertical dots on the right side of the screen and choose to 'Remove' the user:
Once a user is removed, they will immediately lose access to the project, however, any data they might have added, including plans, tasks, files, etc. will remain in your project. If the user needs access again, they will need to be re-invited.
Note: The user will only lose access to the project but not the account level. If you want to remove the user from your account and all projects refer to the section How to remove people from your account (and all projects)
How to adjust user permissions
To adjust a user's permission level, select the contingent permission under the 'Access' Column, and select a new permission set:
Batch Actions
There are several batch actions that a Project Admin can perform on the 'People' tab - including batch-removal, and adjusting user permissions en masse. Project Admins can also sort by different user entries, including the user name, email, company, phone number and access level:
To batch-remove users, or adjust permissions en masse, select the checkbox to the left of the user names you'd like to adjust:
Note: You can also select the checkbox to the left of the 'Name' column to select all users.
Project Admins can also sort by several user parameters, including the 'Name', 'Email', 'Company', 'Phone' and 'Access' - this is an alpha-numeric sort. To do this, select the contingent column:
How to see who is covered under your account
Finally, Project Admins can see who is, and isn't covered under their account - this is indicated by the Grey or Green Dollar signs to the right of the 'Access' column.
A Grey Dollar Sign indicates that the user is covered under their own subscription, and the Project Owner is not responsible for covering their usage:
A Green Dollar Sign indicates the user is covered under the Project Owner's subscription:
Note: Only Project Admins can see who is and is not covered under the Project Owner's account. If you are the 'Account Owner', you can see everyone who is covered under your Subscription from the Account 'People' tab - take a look at this article for more information about that.
Invalid Email Addresses
Users that have a circled exclamation point next to their email address would indicate that it is invalid and emails will not be delivered to the inbox.
Confirm that the email address is spelled correctly and there are no typos.
- If spelled incorrectly, remove the user and add re-invite with the correct email address.
Please email support@fieldwire.com with the email address of the user to check if the user may be unsubscribed or bounced in our system so they can be resubscribed to receive emails again.
