# Increase the User Count in Nextcloud Workspace

How to increase the number of available user seats in your Nextcloud Workspace plan.

Once your Nextcloud Workspace is live, your organization’s needs may grow. This topic explains how to scale your team by adding more user licenses through your <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> account. Whether you are onboarding new hires or expanding a department, you can adjust your seat count at any time post-creation to ensure everyone has the access they need.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Prerequisites:**

* You must have an active <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> account.
* You must be logged in to <code class="expression">space.vars.ionos\_cloud</code> as a contract owner or an administrator.
  {% endhint %}

To increase the user count:

1\. In the **DCD**, go to **Menu** > **Sovereign Workplace** > **Nextcloud Workspace**.

2\. In the **Nextcloud Workspace** window, select the workspace to increase its user count.

3\. Select **Add**.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/sovereign-workplace/nextcloud-workspace/how-tos/increase-user-count.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
