# User classes

Streams Manager offers two classes of users:

* Permanent – users that never expire and are thus never removed. They are also exempt from all limits such as number of concurrent streams, download limits, transcoding, etc. You can mark a user permanent by editing a user on Users panel and turning on the toggle Is Permanent
* Non-Permanent (i.e. normal users) – that are subject to Plex share removal once their payments expire, are subject to limits set by their plan (concurrent streams, downloads, transcoding, etc.), get their Discord roles assigned/removed etc.
