Hey @BradS, thank you for reaching out and for leaving your feedback!

Subscriptions are tied to teams, not individual users. Your team is responsible for payment for all editors who have access to the team or your team files, regardless of whether that user belongs to another paid team or not — team billing happens independently from the other.

Manage billing on the Professional plan

Our Professional plan billing is based on full seat numbers. So, if your associate needs to edit the files in your team, it will be included in your team’s billing.

If you don’t want to pay for those full seat, what you can do is work on Starter plan. However, your workspace will be limited to 1 project and 3 files, with a max. of 3 pages per file and less features.

Kindly refer to these Help Center article for more information:

How free users become paid users

If the associate doesn’t need to edit, you can downgrade their Design editor role to Viewer- restricted and it will be removed from your billing.

1. 
   

   Select the admin console next to your team name on the left side of the file browser

   
   


2. 
   

   Navigate to the Members tab of your team page

   
   


3. 
   

   Set the Design role filters to Editors to display all billed users

   
   


4. 
   

   Downgrade any editor’s role to Viewer - Restricted to remove that user from billing

   
   

Please let me know if you have any further question, happy to help out further!
