Users

Manage who has access to your workspace, what type of license they hold, and whether their account is active.

Updated over a week ago

Overview

The Users page in Workspace Management lists every member of your workspace. From here, owners and admins can filter users by status, type, or role — and perform actions like changing license types, adjusting roles, deactivating accounts, or transferring workspace ownership.

Each user has a license type that determines their level of access, and a role that defines their permissions within that access level. License type always takes precedence: a user with an Administrator role but a read-only license is still read-only.

License types

Type

What they can do

Billing impact

Regular

Full access to all functionality permitted by their role.

Counts toward your subscription seat limit.

Read-only

View entities they have access to and leave comments on test cases, defects, and test case reviews. Cannot create, modify, or delete anything.

Counts as a read-only seat (separate from regular seats on most plans).

Billing

Access only the Workspace Billing section — subscription, invoices, and payment methods. No access to projects or test data.

Free — does not count toward any seat limit.

You cannot directly invite someone as a billing user. Instead, invite them as a regular or read-only user first, then convert their license type.

Viewing and filtering the user list

The Users page shows each member's status (active/inactive), license type, role, role title, and last activity timestamp. Use the filters at the top to narrow by:

  • Status — Active or Inactive

  • Type — Regular, Read-only, or Billing

  • Role — Owner, Administrator, Member, or any custom role

Managing a user

Select the actions menu (three dots) on any user row to:

  • Convert license type — switch between Regular, Read-only, and Billing

  • Deactivate / Reactivate — suspend a user's access without deleting their account; reactivate when needed

  • Edit settings — change their name, role title, or assigned role

  • Transfer ownership — available only to the current owner, and only for regular-license users

Deactivation vs. deletion

Qase uses deactivation, not deletion, for user management. A deactivated user loses access immediately but their historical data (test results, comments, assignments) remains intact. If you need to permanently remove a user, contact support.

FAQ

Can I bulk-invite users?
Yes — the Invites page supports bulk invitations. You cannot bulk-convert license types; that must be done per user.

How do I free up a seat?
Deactivate the user or convert them to a billing user. Both actions release the seat immediately.
