Reclaim seats

User guide · The “Reclaim seats” tab

Inactive users keep consuming paid licenses until someone removes them. The Reclaim seats tab finds accounts that hold a billable seat but haven't been active, estimates the annual saving, and lets you free the seats — by removing the user from the group that grants the licence.

The Reclaim seats tab showing the estimated annual saving, reclaimable seats by product, and a list of inactive seat-holders.
Set an inactivity threshold and the tab shows how many seats you could reclaim, the estimated yearly saving, and exactly which inactive accounts hold a seat.

How to use it

  1. Set the inactivity threshold in Flag accounts inactive for more than (days) and select Recalculate. (The default comes from Settings.)
  2. Read the headline — e.g. “Reclaim 3 seats ≈ $2,250/yr” — and the Reclaimable seats by product table.
  3. For any candidate, select Reclaim… to remove them from the seat-granting group(s). It's the same preview → confirm → apply → undo flow as Preview changes, and every action is recorded in the Audit log. Run a scan afterwards so the figures refresh.

Reading the results

Confirm before you remove

  • “Last issue activity” is a signal, not a login time. It's the most recent time someone acted on an issue — a strong indicator of inactivity, but a privacy-safe app can't see exact last-login times. Confirm a person is really inactive before removing them.
  • The saving is an estimate — only as accurate as the per-seat cost you set in Settings.
  • If a user's seat comes from a directly assigned grant or an externally-managed (SCIM) group, the app can't change it automatically and will point you to the right place to do it.
