Unlicensed account owner

32 votes

A GitKraken Owner role will always consume a license.

I want to use the owner account for administrative purposes only, and have it not consume a license.

Would be great to separate those users

The owner account should be allowed full customization like this. It is quite silly that the owner can't just be an administrator / billing user as most software's with portals allow it.

Totally AGREED... it's quite unfair to companies to pay for a license for someone that does billing/administration of the account..

Can't wait for this feature to exist.

Yes please! I'm an administrator who manages seats for various software in our organization. I can't believe I either have to waste $100 on an unused license or hand over ownership to a developer! No other SaaS platform we use operates this way.

I would love for this feature to exist. I'm an admin that provisions accounts and I do not need a licensed seat. We only have a few devs that use this platform and I don't like wasting money on a seat for myself for this platform.

Same here, no need for licenses if the only purpose is administrating the account. Please make a change

I'm glad we're not the only ones who think this is silly. No other vendor I deal with forces the admin/owner to own an license that doesn't get used JUST to manage other users. I'm wasting a seat and money just to be able to have functionality that other vendors already provide. It's ridiculous.

I'm here to add my vote. As the IT administrator, but not a user, it does not make sense that my profile occupies a seat 🤨.

Same here, for IT support purpose we need to be Owner but never use the license
