## How to set up Sync Only seats
1. First, make sure your admin and IT team have set up Impersonation Accounts (for Gmail users) and Client Credentials (for Office365 users). Click on one of the two options below based on whether you're using Gmail or Office365.
1. Gmail users: [Setting up Impersonation for Google accounts](/s/article/How-to-enable-domain-wide-delegation-for-Google-impersonation-Enterprise-only)
2. Office365 users: [Setting up Microsoft Graph Client Credentials for Microsoft accounts](/s/article/Setting-up-Microsoft-Graph-Client-Credentials)**Note**: Exchange (On-Premise) users are not supported at this time.
2. Next, you must provide ownership verification for your organization's domain (see [Domain Verification Guide for Sync Only users](/s/article/Domain-Verification-Guide-for-Sync-Only-users)).
3. Last but not least, make sure that your account role matches the following below based on your [subscription tier](/s/article/How-do-I-know-which-Affinity-subscription-tier-I-am-on):
1. **Enterprise** tier: By default, only **Enterprise Admins** will be able to set the privacy preferences for Sync Only users.
1. **Enterprise Admins** have the option to extend user permissions management to **Admins** and/or Standard users by clicking **Edit Permissions** (see the section titled " What permissions can the Enterprise Admin change" within [Account Level Permissions](/s/article/Account-level-permissions))
2. **Essential**, **Scale** and, **Advanced** tiers: Only **Admins** will be able to set the privacy preferences for Sync Only users.
## How to invite and manage Sync Only users
1. Now that you have set up access to Sync Only seats, click on **Settings** on the left side of your screen to start sending out invites.
2. Click **Users and Permissions**, then click the **Add user** button on the top-right corner.
3. Select **Sync Only** for the seat type, then enter the user's full name and email address, assign them to a team (if they're on the Enterprise tier), and select their privacy preference for their synced emails and meetings.

**Important Callout**: If you did not go through the setup process for Sync Only seats (check out the section titled "How to set up Sync Only sears" within this article [How to invite/manage Sync Only users in Affinity](/s/article/How-to-invite-manage-Sync-Only-users-in-Affinity)), then you will not be able to successfully add a Sync Only user. Please contact us at [support@affinity.co](mailto:support@affinity.co) to help you get set up.
4. If you have already reached seat capacity for your subscription, you must click the checkbox acknowledging that you will pay a prorated amount for the additional seat (see [Getting started with billing in Affinity](/s/article/Admin)).
5. Once they are added, the syncing process will begin. Please note that it may take up to 24 hours based on how much data they have). Rest assured that your team member won't be accessing the CRM - they will simply see a screen that looks like this:
6. After 24 hours, you may see new people and organizations appear in your All People and All Organizations directories based on the Sync Only user's synced communications data. You will see the Sync Only user appear in the **Connections** field, providing you and your team members (who have access to the CRM) now with even more historical context and relationship intelligence insights.
7. Back on the **Users and Permissions** tab, you can add more team members as Sync Only users or deactivate them accordingly.
8. Last but not least, you can click on each Sync Only user's name, then click **Edit User** on the top-right corner to change their **Email and Meeting Privacy** preference.
