# Free user limit **(FREE SAAS)**
|
|
|
|
From October 19, 2022, a five-user limit will apply to top-level [namespaces](namespace/index.md) with private visibility on GitLab SaaS. These limits will roll out gradually, and impacted users will be notified in GitLab.com at least 60 days before the limit is applied.
|
|
|
|
When the five-user limit is applied, top-level private namespaces exceeding the user limit are placed in a read-only state. These namespaces cannot write new data to repositories, Git Large File Storage (LFS), packages, or registries.
|
|
|
|
## Manage members in your namespace
|
|
|
|
To help manage your free user limit,
|
|
you can view and manage the total number of members across all projects and groups
|
|
in your namespace.
|
|
|
|
Prerequisite:
|
|
|
|
- You must have the Owner role for the group.
|
|
|
|
1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Groups > View all groups** and find your group.
|
|
1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Usage Quotas**.
|
|
1. To view all members, select the **Seats** tab.
|
|
1. To remove a member, select **Remove user**.
|
|
|
|
If you need more time to manage your members, or to try GitLab features
|
|
with a team of more than five members, you can [start a trial](https://gitlab.com/-/trial_registrations/new?glm_source=docs.gitlab.com&glm_content=free-user-limit).
|
|
A trial lasts for 30 days and includes an unlimited number of members.
|
|
|
|
## Determining namespace user counts
|
|
|
|
Every unique user of a top-level namespace with private visibility counts towards the five-user limit. This includes every user of a group, subgroup, and project within a namespace.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
The group `example-1` has:
|
|
|
|
- One group owner, `A`.
|
|
- One subgroup called `subgroup-1` with one member, `B`.
|
|
- `subgroup-1` inherits `A` as a member from `example-1`.
|
|
- One project in `subgroup-1` called `project-1` with two members, `C` and `D`.
|
|
- `project-1` inherits `A` and `B` as members from `subgroup-1`.
|
|
|
|
The namespace `example-1` has four unique members: `A`, `B`, `C`, and `D`. Because `example-1` has only four unique members, it is not impacted by the five-user limit.
|
|
|
|
The group `example-2` has:
|
|
|
|
- One group owner, `A`.
|
|
- One subgroup called `subgroup-2` with one member, `B`.
|
|
- `subgroup-2` inherits `A` as a member from `example-2`.
|
|
- One project in `subgroup-2` called `project-2a` with two members, `C` and `D`.
|
|
- `project-2a` inherits `A` and `B` as members from `subgroup-2`.
|
|
- One project in `subgroup-2` called `project-2b` with two members, `E` and `F`.
|
|
- `project-2b` inherits `A` and `B` as members from `subgroup-2`.
|
|
|
|
The namespace `example-2` has six unique members: `A`, `B`, `C`, `D`, `E`, and `F`. Because `example-2` has six unique users, it is impacted by the five-user limit.
