Proton VPN for Business

To add users to your Proton VPN for Business plan, you must first create an organization.

Once you have created an organization, you can add users to it. The number of users you can add depends on the number of licenses you purchased as part of your plan.

There are two ways you can add users to your organization:

  • Individual users — If you’re a small organization or only have a few users, you can fill out each user’s details in your Proton VPN settings.

  • Multiple users — If you have multiple users, you can download a CSV template from Proton VPN settings, fill it in, and then upload it. We’ll then create all the users specified on the sheet. You’ll only be able to add as many users as you have licenses for, so check that you have sufficient licenses before uploading the CSV.

When you’re done, click Create user.

4. The new user will appear on the users screen. You can edit users anytime.

5. Share the password with the user so they can log into their account for the first time.
