What changes when companies upgrade to paid accounts?
Background
If you are a company in the construction industry, you can create a create a free Procore account and join the Procore Construction Network. Through your free account, you can view and access your Procore projects and tenders, manage your team and business profile, and more. You can upgrade your free account to a paid account to get access to additional tools to manage your construction projects.
Answer
When you upgrade to a paid Procore company account, certain aspects of your experience change as new tools become available.
User Interface
|
Paid Procore Accounts Users in paid Procore accounts have a navigation menu across the top of their screens, where tool and project selection menus are found. A company logo is usually visible on the left side of the navigation menu.
|
Free Procore Accounts Users with free Procore accounts have a navigation menu that runs from top to bottom along the left side of the screen. A Procore logo is visible at the top of this navigation menu.

User Management
Instead of using the 'Teams' tool, you will use the Company level Directory tool to manage your employees and collaborators. Because not all of your users and collaborators will work on every project, you will also have a Project Directory for each of your projects. Users and companies added to a Project level Directory are automatically added to the Company level Directory for a single source of truth for all your users.

Permissions
Instead of assigning one of three permissions to a user, you will now use the Company level Permissions tool to create permissions templates that give access to tools and actions for the tools your company has access to.
Existing user permissions are carried over from your free account. You can update those permissions templates or create new ones.
You can manage user permissions in the Permissions tool, or when editing the user in the company's Directory.
