  • A breakdown of users by license type ¹

  • Pending user invites

NOTE

¹ This header will not be shown for organizations that have not renewed their Airtable contract as of November 2021. ² Last activity is updated when a user takes a qualifying action in a workspace owned by the enterprise. ³ Organizations who have not yet signed a new billing contract with us will only be able to see whether the user is billable or not. ⁴ This column will not be shown for organizations that have not renewed their Airtable contract as of November 2021.

The number shown in the admin panel's "Users" tab represents the total number of users that can access your organization's content, including users managed by your organization, deactivated users, and external collaborators.

The number displayed under the "Name" column shows the number of users that match the current filter or search query. This number doesn't always match the number shown on the "Users" tab because the page, by default, shows only active users. Apply any applicable features to confirm both numbers are accurate.

Active users can log in and access Airtable, while deactivated users can't log in.

Admins can deactivate active users managed by their enterprise account and reactivate de-provisioned users.

The "Last activity time" data is updated once users take a qualifying workspace action in a base or interface owned by the enterprise.

Examples of qualifying actions:

Workspaces

• Upgrading/downgrading/deleting workspaces

• Adding/removing collaborators

• Renaming workspaces

Bases

• Opening bases

• Adding and removing collaborators

• Creating, deleting, and modifying share links

• Exporting CSV data

• Uploading and downloading attachments

• Modifying automations

• Commenting

• Viewing share links while logged in

Interfaces

• Loading interfaces

• Viewing records through interfaces

• Updating records through interfaces

Examples of non-qualifying actions:

• Loading the home screen

• Logging in / logging out

• Updating user preferences (eg. Notification preferences)

• Submitting a form

• Trying to load a base to which they do not have access

NOTE

• Admins on Enterprise plans can simultaneously send up to 1000 workspace, base, or interface collaboration requests. The limit for admins on Business plans is 50.

• Users already collaborating on other workspaces or bases in your organization's Enterprise ecosystem will auto-accept invitations to new bases or workspaces. Users already managed by your organization will auto-accept invitations to groups
