Users and Licenses

Introduction

The Users & Licenses page in the LocalStack Web Application allows workspace administrators to manage workspace memberships and assign licenses.

To access this page:

1. Click your name or organization’s name in the top-left corner of the dashboard.
2. Go to Settings → Users & Licenses under the Administration section.

Member Roles

Each member of a workspace is either a Workspace Admin or a Workspace Member. The role determines which parts of the workspace they can access and manage.

The table below summarizes what each role can do:

Action	Workspace Admin	Workspace Member
Invite new members	✅	❌
Remove members from workspace	✅	❌
Assign or unassign licenses	✅	❌
Change member roles (e.g., promote to Admin)	✅	❌
Configure advanced permissions	✅	❌
Access Auth Tokens	✅	✅
Use assigned LocalStack licenses	✅	✅

Note

Admins manage the overall pool of licenses for the workspace. Each member is still responsible for configuring their own local environment to use their Auth Token.

Key differences

• Administrative control: Only Admins can open the Administration section of Settings to manage workspace membership and the license pool.
• License management: Admins distribute available licenses from the subscription plan to specific members through the Users & Licenses dashboard.
• Role management: Admins can switch any member between Admin and Member.

Managing Members

Inviting Members

To invite someone to your workspace:

• Click Invite Members.
• Enter the email of the person you want to invite.
• Check the option to automatically assign a license (optional).
• Send the invite.

If the invitee does not have a LocalStack account, they will receive an email to create one.

Note

Only workspace admins can invite members and manage license assignments.

Removing Members

To remove a member from the workspace:

• Click the ⋯ menu at the right of their row.
• Select the option to remove them from the workspace.

You can re-invite them anytime.

Managing Roles and Permissions

Use the ⋯ menu at the right of a member’s row to view and edit their role.

• Set them as Admin or Member
• Configure advanced permissions if available

Managing Licenses

Licenses are part of subscription plans and are shown in the License column of the members list.

• To assign or change a license: Click directly on the license name for a member to open the license dropdown.
• To unassign a license: Select the no-license option from the same dropdown.
• A license can be reassigned at any time.

Changes apply immediately and don’t require user action.
