# Free user limit **(FREE SAAS)**
|
|
|
|
From October 19, 2022, namespaces in GitLab.com on the Free tier
|
|
will be limited to five (5) members per [namespace](namespace/index.md).
|
|
This limit applies to top-level private groups.
|
|
|
|
On the transition date, if your namespace has six or more unique members:
|
|
|
|
- Five members will keep a status of `Active`.
|
|
- Remaining members will get a status of `Over limit` and lose access to the
|
|
group.
|
|
- Members invited through a group or project invitation outside of the namespace
|
|
will be removed. You can add these members back by inviting them through their
|
|
username or email address on the **Members** page for your group or project.
|
|
|
|
## How active members are determined
|
|
|
|
On the transition date, we'll automatically select the members who keep their `Active` status
|
|
in the following order, until we reach a total of five:
|
|
|
|
1. Members with the Owner or Maintainer role.
|
|
1. The most recently active members.
|
|
|
|
## 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 **Menu > 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://about.gitlab.com/free-trial/).
|
|
A trial lasts for 30 days and includes an unlimited number of members.
