  5. 5Optional: enable domain matching in team settings so verified teammates with matching email domains can join without a direct invite.

When should we enable SSO?

SSOSingle Sign-On. One company login (usually via SAML or OIDC) instead of a separate password per tool. (SAMLAn enterprise standard that powers single sign-on.) is optional at setup but is the standard path for security review: it automates onboarding and offboarding through your identity provider. Configure it after the team exists from the admin dashboard. Teams and Enterprise tiers support SSO; pair it with enforced Privacy ModeCursor's setting that routes requests under zero-data-retention terms so providers don't store or train on your code. before you scale seats.

How does team billing work?

Cursor bills per active user, not pre-purchased seats. Add or remove users anytime; new members are charged pro-rata for their remaining cycle. If a removed user consumed any credits, their seat stays occupied until the billing period ends. Your renewal date does not move when you change headcount.

Unpaid admin setup

You can set yourself as an Unpaid Admin to configure the team without a license. Teams still need at least one paid member - set up, invite a paid user, then change your role before billing if you will not use a seat yourself.

How do we deploy Cursor through company MDM?

Download builds for every platform at cursor.com/downloads. Cursor documents MDM rollout for Omnissa Workspace ONE, Microsoft Intune (Windows and Mac) and Kandji. If your network uses ZScaler, a proxy or a VPN that blocks HTTP/2, set HTTP Compatibility Mode to HTTP/1.1 under Cursor Settings → Network.

Frequently asked questions

Can one person belong to multiple Cursor teams?

No. A Cursor account can only be in one team at a time. Leave your current team before joining another.

Will Cursor work behind our corporate proxy or VPN?

Usually yes. If HTTP/2 is blocked, switch HTTP Compatibility Mode to HTTP/1.1 in Cursor Settings → Network.

How do we buy licenses for the whole company?

You do not buy fixed license packs - you pay for active users each cycle. Add users when you need them; billing adjusts pro-rata.
