Manage employee access
Managing access for your employees / users can only be done when there are Licenses available for your organization. A License can only be allocated to your organization by a provider.
Licenses can be managed from different places in the Customer Portal. When managing a License, it is important to decide on how access will be granted:
User, a licence can be assigned to a specific user. This means only this specific user has access to the applications / services this license grants access to.
Group, a license can be assigned to a group. This means all users that belong to this group have access to the applications / services this license grants access to.
Organizational unit, a license can be assigned to an organizational unit. This means all users that belong to this organizational unit have access to the applications / services this license grants access to.
It is important to realize that when assigning to a group or organizational unit, users can automatically use the license when they are assigned to the group or organizational unit. Similarly, when a user is removed, they will no longer be able to use the license.
The same goes for any optional policies that are assigned on this level, all users that belong to the group or organizational unit will have access to the optional policies assigned to them.
