# How to reassign a subscription user seat

This guide describes how to reassign the Supermetrics subscription user seat to a new user on the [Supermetrics Hub](https://hub.supermetrics.com/).

You might need to reassign a subscription user seat when:

- **A team member is leaving your company**: Move the subscription to someone who's staying, so your reports and data connections keep running after they lose access.
- **You're restructuring your team**: Move a subscription to whoever now owns the related reporting, if responsibilities shift between team members.
- **Your reports have stopped working**: If a subscription is still assigned to someone whose data source access was revoked, reassigning it and reconnecting your data sources can fix broken queries.

## Before you begin

First, make sure to [add the user you'd like to change subscription user seat to](/v1/docs/how-to-manage-your-supermetrics-team) as a team member. [Learn how to see all of your subscription's users](/v1/docs/how-to-manage-your-supermetrics-subscription).

### Check your modification count

You can change subscription user seats up to 5 times during the subscription period. This is called your modification count.

To see your modification count, [open the Subscriptions page on the Hub](https://hub.supermetrics.com/subscriptions), or click your email address in the top-right corner and select **Subscriptions**. Find the subscription you'd like to review, and click it to view the subscription details. Click **Assign users** to see your modification count.

### Transfer queries

You should transfer any queries assigned to the subscription user you're reassigning in advance. This ensures that your reporting will continue to run during and after the change.

- [How to transfer queries in Data Studio (formerly Looker Studio)](/v1/docs/how-to-transfer-supermetrics-reports-and-data-sources-in-data-studio)
- [How to transfer queries in Excel](/v1/docs/how-to-transfer-supermetrics-queries-to-other-users-in-excel)

### Check your credit card details

If you're reassigning the subscription user seat because a teammate is leaving your company, make sure that the card linked to your subscription will remain valid after they leave. [Learn how to update your credit card details](/v1/docs/how-to-update-your-credit-card-details).

## Instructions

### AI tools, Google Sheets, Data Studio, Excel, and Power BI

1. Go to the [Subscriptions page](https://hub.supermetrics.com/subscriptions) on the Supermetrics Hub. Check from the top bar that you're in the right team.
2. Select the subscription you'd like to reassign.
3. At the top of the **Users** list, click **Assign user**.

We recommend that you [reconnect to your data sources](/v1/docs/how-to-reauthenticate-a-data-source-connection) after completing the change.

### Data warehouse and the Supermetrics API

Data warehouse and Supermetrics API subscriptions use the Team membership feature. To change a subscription user seat, you'll have to [change team members and their roles](/v1/docs/how-to-manage-your-supermetrics-team). The user originally assigned to the subscription will generally be the team's initial Owner. (There are no data warehouse or API subscription owners — there are only Team owners.)

We recommend that you [reconnect to your data sources](/v1/docs/how-to-reauthenticate-a-data-source-connection) after completing the change.
