Who counts towards the user limit on plans?

All users that sign in to HelpDocs with a username/password or Single Sign On, regardless of their role, are counted towards the plan limits. Public viewers to unrestricted knowledge bases aren't.

All users that sign in to HelpDocs with a username/password or Single Sign Onβ€”regardless of their roleβ€”are counted towards the plan limits.

Public viewers to unrestricted knowledge bases are not counted as users, since they won't have their own HelpDocs account. In addition Shared Password and JWT Auth users are not counted toward your user limits.

We'll send you an email when you hit the user limit on your plan
