So, i’m making this app for a school project, and i want to be able to showcase it to people with a QR Code. From what i understand, an “active user” is someone who logged in within 30 days, right? So, i have two questions: 1- can I add how many “template” users i want in the user table? 2- I have asked three friends to test the app in the last two days. That means that, in 30 days, these 3 users slots will be available for other users? My presentation is on May. ---

For free plans, I believe that it’s based on a rolling 30 day window (I’m not 100% certain of that). > [@gabrielmg004](#): > > 1- can I add how many “template” users i want in the user table? I don’t know what you mean by a “template” user. Can you define that please? > [@gabrielmg004](#): > > I have asked three friends to test the app in the last two days. That means that, in 30 days, these 3 users slots will be available for other users? My presentation is on May. Again, depends on your plan. If you have a paid plan, your available user count should reset at the end of the current billing cycle. Otherwise, yes. ---

Hi Darren! By template users, I mean manually adding rows to the users table just to populate the list, like so: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/0/a063ef342ed9998877bae97b8891ca6f2343f2b2.jpeg) So they can appear here: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/6/e6f075e2a1a50f6f2d302f938e8828156c73b23b.png) If i can add a bunch of “fake users”, would be nice at my presentation, since it’s more like a proof of concept than a real app that people are going to use. Thank you for the clarification, i am indeed at the free plan. ---

Oh, right. Okay, you can add as many users as you want like that. They will only count towards your quota if they actually sign in. ---
