Learn how to add, remove, and manage team members on your Envato Elements Teams plan, including billing changes and plan upgrades — all from your My Account dashboard.
Team owners manage every aspect of an Envato Elements Teams subscription — billing, member invitations, and plan size — from the My Account page, using the Subscription Details and Manage a Team tabs. Only the team owner has permission to make these changes.
What Can a Team Owner Do in My Account?
The My Account dashboard gives team owners two main control panels:
- Subscription Details: Update billing information, change or cancel the subscription, and adjust the number of seats on the team.
- Manage a Team: Send invitations, remove members, and cancel pending invites.
To understand permission differences between an owner and a member, hover over the Role label on the Members list for a quick explanation.
How Do I Invite a Team Member?
- Go to My Account and open the Manage Team tab.
- Check the available invitation count shown under Invite Members (this depends on your plan size).
- Enter the new member's email address and select Send Invites.
- Repeat for additional members, up to your plan's limit.
Once someone accepts an invitation, their name appears under Members on the Manage Team page.
How Do I Add More Seats to My Team?
If your team currently has fewer than five members, there are two ways to add seats:
Option 1 — From the Manage Team page
Click Add Number of Members in Plan near Send Invites. If this button isn't visible, you've hit your plan's maximum of five seats. To go beyond five seats, you will need an Enterprise plan.
Option 2 — From the My Account page
Click Add more of Seats, then choose your new team size (including yourself) from the drop-down menu. Review the order summary and click Confirm. You can now proceed to the Manage team tab to invite a new member to your team!
Billing note: Adding a seat mid-cycle triggers an immediate, prorated charge covering the rest of your current billing period. Your next renewal will then bill the full amount for the new team size. Charges appear under Payment history.
How Do I Reduce the Number of Seats?
- In My Account, open Manage Team and click Manage Seats.
- Select your new, smaller team size from the drop-down list.
- Review the updated cost under Order Summary and click Confirm.
- Choose which member(s) to remove from the pop-up prompt (you can change your selection later via Change Nomination).
Important: Seat reductions take effect at your next renewal, not immediately — nominated members keep access until then. If you need to cut off access right away, remove the member manually (see the section below) instead of waiting for the renewal.
How can I upgrade my Teams plan to a Teams Plus or Ultimate plan?
To upgrade to a higher tier subscription plan, click your name in the bottom-left corner, and select My Account.
- You'll be presented with options to Upgrade your plan to Plus Teams or Ultimate Teams.
- Select your chosen plan upgrade by selecting the green "Upgrade to" button.
- You'll be navigated to a confirmation page to check the billing details. If you're happy to continue with your upgrade, click Confirm.
You will receive a confirmation email that confirms your new plan details.
How Do I Remove a Member or Cancel an Invitation?
Removing an active member (immediate, irreversible)
This is different from reducing your seat count — removing a member instantly revokes their access and frees up a spot for a new invite.
- Go to Manage Team tab Members.
- Click the remove icon next to the member's name.
- Confirm the removal in the pop-up modal.
Once removed, the person loses access immediately, and you would need to send a fresh invitation to add them back.
Cancelling a pending invitation
Go to Manage Team tab Members and click Cancel Invite next to the pending invitation. This option only appears while an invite is pending, and cancelling it invalidates the invite link right away.
How Do I Switch Between Monthly and Yearly Billing?
Only the team owner can change the billing cycle. Contact Envato Elements support to switch from monthly to yearly (or vice versa). Depending on your request, the change applies either immediately or at your next renewal.
