Billing groups

Billing groups allow company admins to map users to internal budgets. Because each user can be assigned to only one billing group, admins can use billing groups to track the number of licenses used by each cost center, and simplify license true-ups, renewals and chargebacks for your teams. 

Available for: Enterprise Plan
Who can do it: Company admins

Billing group settings

Within your billing group settings you can see an overview of your license consumption, including all your existing billing groups, the number of users and full licenses in each group, and the billing group contact if one has been assigned. Use the search field to quickly find a specific billing group. 

Where to find your billing groups 

To find your billing group settings go to Company settings > Subscription > Billing groups.

✏️ Users not assigned to a billing group are automatically placed in the default company billing group. You can see the number of assigned active users in the banner at the top of your Billing group settings.

How to assign users to a billing group via CSV file

Assign several users to a billing group by uploading a CSV file with user emails. If a user is already a part of another billing group, they’re moved to the newly assigned billing group.

✏️ Make sure your CSV file has only one column with the header ‘e-mail’. This column should include your list of emails to be added to the billing group. Check your CSV uses commas to separate the values. Information in additional columns will not be processed. Miro does not save the CSV files.

1. Go to Company settings > Subscription > Billing groups.
2. Click the three dots next to a billing group and choose Edit.
3. Upload a CSV file with the list of user email addresses.
4. Click Save.

How to assign users to a billing group via SCIM

Utilize SCIM to automatically allocate users to a billing group according to a cost center.

Step 1: Configure your Identity Provider (IdP)

Ensure your IdP is set up to add the cost center to Miro. See guides for:

• Setting up automated provisioning with OKTA
• Setting up automated provisioning with Azure AD

Step 2: Assign cost centers to your billing group

Add one or more cost centers to a billing group. All present and future users from these cost centers will auto-join the billing group.

1. Open the Edit billing group page.
2. Enter your cost center in the Insert cost center field.
3. Press Enter on your keyboard.
4. Add any additional cost centers as needed.
5. Click Save.

✏️ Miro does not verify the cost center information you enter. Make sure you enter accurate information for cost center names. This field is not case-sensitive.

Managed by SCIM badge

Users with an assigned cost center linked to a billing group, are labeled as Managed by SCIM. You'll see this badge next to the user name.

These users can’t be manually added to billing groups and can only be assigned a cost center through a SCIM update.

Cost center and billing group guidelines 

• A billing group may contain several cost centers, but a single cost center can link to just one billing group.
• To reassign a cost center, first you need to remove the cost center from its current billing group.
• Users who are assigned to a billing group based on their cost center cannot be manually assigned to another billing group. 
• Removing a cost center from your billing group will also remove all SCIM-provisioned users from that billing group.
• Non-SCIM-provisioned users may be manually assigned to any billing group.

How to remove a cost center from a billing group

1. Open the Edit billing group page.
2. Click the X next to the cost center you would like to remove.
3. Click Save.
