Billing groups let you sort people in your organization according to internal budget sources. Each billing group has billing group admins who manage free and paid seats in the group.

Prepare to launch billing groups at your company

As an organization admin, you can set up billing groups to match your organization’s accounting needs.

1. Plan a billing group structure for your organization
2. Identify billing group admins and let them know what to expect
3. Decide how to assign users to billing groups
4. Create billing groups and assign admins

1. Plan a billing group structure for your organization

We recommend planning out your billing group structure in advance. If you have an existing cost center structure at your company, that’s likely a good place to start.

2. Identify billing group admins and let them know what to expect

Organization admins can manage every billing group in the organization, while billing group admins only manage seats in billing groups where they are an admin. Billing group admins can:

• Assign or unassign users from the group
• Manage upgrade requests for people in their group
• Move people between seat types
• Confirm the number of paid seats in the group during the true-up period, when applicable

You don't need to pay for someone to be a billing group admin. Admins who don't work in Figma can use a free View seat.

3. Decide who will assign users to billing groups

When users aren’t part of a billing group, they have the Unassigned label. Any organization or billing group admin can move someone from Unassigned into a billing group. You can also remove someone from a billing group at any time by changing them to Unassigned.

There are a few ways to approach assigning users to billing groups:

1. Organization admins can assign users in bulk from the People table in Admin. 
2. Organizations using SAML SSO in Okta can use SCIM to automatically assign users to a billing group in Figma.
3. Billing group admins can assign any person with the Unassigned label to a billing group they manage.

4. Create billing groups and assign admins

Once you’ve planned your billing group structure, identified admins, and decided who will assign users to their groups, you’re ready to go. You can get started by creating your billing groups and assigning billing group admins.
