## Managing license types

Licenses can be assigned manually, or automatically based on IdP configuration
(enterprise only). By default, new users in an account will be assigned a
Developer license.
Licenses can be assigned to users individually or through group membership. To assign a license via group membership, you can manually add a user to a group during the invitation process or assign them to a group after they’ve enrolled in dbt Cloud. Alternatively, with [SSO configuration](/docs/cloud/manage-access/sso-overview) and [role-based access control](/docs/cloud/manage-access/about-user-access#role-based-access-control-) (Enterprise only), users can be automatically assigned to groups. By default, new users in an account are assigned a Developer license.
