Suite Administration includes control of:

* [Billing & Usage](#billing-and-usage): Manage plans, seats, the billing credit card, and the general Suite subscription
* [User Management](https://docs.auterion.com/vehicle-operation/auterion-suite-fleet-management/users): Invite and manage users
* [API Key Management](#api-key-management): Control keys for direct integration with the Suite

## Billing & Usage

Manage plans, seats, the billing credit card, and the general Suite subscription

### Plans

The *Plans* section allows the current plan to be viewed and changed.

Please take note that:

* **Upgrading** **a plan** will immediately upgrade the account and bill the registered card.
* **Downgrading the plan** will immediately credit the account and step down to a lower plan.
* **Canceling a paid plan** is done by downgrading to Basic

Each plan provides an overview of the features you will activate with your subscription. Upgrading to a paid plans requires a card to be on file.

### Billing

Set and modify the credit card used for monthly payment of your subscription. This card can be changed at any time. Companies using the Suite with custom pricing or invoice-based pricing will not have the ability to set a credit card.

All payment processing and credit card information is securely handled by [Stripe](https://stripe.com/).
{% endhint %}

### Usage

Review the current **number of seats** you have in your plan, the current number of **seats being used**, and modify the number of seats in your plan.
