# Get a seat in SkedX Form

> In SkedX Form a seat is what lets a person make changes. Without one they can still open and read every form, response and lead, but creating a form, editing, publishing or changing a lead is refused: a bubble says “No seat in Form — you can view, not change.” with one button. A member clicks Ask an admin for a seat, which opens an email to the workspace’s owners and admins with the link to where seats are given. An owner or admin without a seat sees Give a seat instead, which opens Settings → Users & Teams. There, in the Seat column, Activate on a person’s row gives them a seat at once. When every seat is in use the row and the seat meter say Buy seats, which opens the company’s SkedX account to add one; come back and click Activate. The company owner never needs a seat. A Viewer is different: the role itself is read-only, so the message names the role instead.

A seat lets you make changes in Form. Without one you can see everything and change nothing — until an admin gives you one.

In SkedX Form, a seat is what lets you make changes. Here is what you see without one, and how an admin gives it. Without a seat, try to make or change something, like New form, and a bubble says: View only. No seat in Form, you can view, not change. Every form, response and lead stays open to read. Click Ask an admin for a seat. An email opens to your workspace's owners and admins, with the link to where they give it. Opening a new form from a link says No seat in Form too, with the same button, and Back to your forms. An owner or admin without a seat sees Give a seat instead. It opens Settings, Users and Teams. In the Seat column, click Activate on the person's row. The meter counts the seat at once, and they can make changes after a reload. When every seat is in use, the row and the meter say Buy seats. It opens your company's SkedX account to add a seat. Come back and click Activate.

## Step 1: Without a seat, you can view, not change

Try to make or change something — **New form**, **Publish**, a lead — and a bubble says **No seat in Form — you can view, not change.** Every form, response and lead stays open to read.
Open it directly: https://form.skode.ai/forms

## Step 2: Ask an admin for a seat

Click **Ask an admin for a seat**. An email opens to your workspace’s owners and admins, with the link to the page where they give it. Once they have, reload the page.

## Step 3: New form says it too

Opening a new form straight from a link shows **No seat in Form** with the same button, and **Back to your forms**.

## Step 4: An admin gives the seat

An owner or admin without a seat sees **Give a seat** instead. It opens **Settings** -> **Users & Teams**, where seats are given.
Open it directly: https://form.skode.ai/settings?tab=users-teams

## Step 5: Click Activate on their row

In the **Seat** column, click **Activate** on the person’s row. The meter counts the seat at once, and they can make changes after a reload.

## Step 6: Every seat in use? Buy seats

When every seat is taken, the row says **Buy seats** and so does the meter. It opens your company’s SkedX account to add a seat — see [Buy a plan or add seats](https://skode.ai/help/accounts/plans-and-billing/buy-a-plan-or-add-seats/). Come back and click **Activate**.

## Common questions

### What can I do without a seat?

Open and read every form, response and lead. Making a form, editing, publishing and changing a lead need a seat.

### Why don’t I have a seat?

Your company’s plan has a set number of seats and they are all in use, or an admin took yours away. Nothing of yours is deleted.

### An admin gave me a seat, but it still says no seat.

Reload the page.

### Does the owner need a seat?

No. The company owner can always make changes.

### Who can give a seat?

Owners and admins — anyone who can manage users in **Users & Teams**.

### It says “You need Member access or above”.

That is your role, not your seat: a Viewer can only read. Ask an admin to change your role in **Users & Teams**.
