CodeMeter License Portal 24.09
CodeMeter License Portal offers you , as a software vendor , the ability to create and manage licenses for customers and resellers . As a white-label solution , you can customize the Portal to match your corporate design and workflows . This allows you to easily manage CmCloudContainers , assign tickets and licenses to users , administer subscriptions , and manage resellers . Here are some highlights of version 24.09 .
Inviting Users CodeMeter License Portal uses the email address for the unique identification of a user . This approach simplifies the process for users , sparing them from having to search for an unused username . Additionally , users are less likely to forget an email address like * john . doe @ company . com * compared to a cryptic username such as “ john32178 ”. Most use cases for Code- Meter License Portal are in a B2B context , allowing administrators to quickly identify if a user doesn ‘ t belong simply by looking at the email address .
However , this approach introduces two limitations : First , the same person cannot have two accounts , such as one for administrative purposes and another for daily use . Second , the same person cannot exist twice within the hierarchy , such as under two different resellers . If two resellers supply the same customer , they can each create a customer with the same name , but only one can create a user with the same email address .
The first limitation primarily occurs in test environments when a person wants to simulate the views of multiple participants . In real environments , administrators are usually not involved in day-to-day operations and do not require a second account . Additionally , it is possible to use “ plus ” addressing to create multiple email addresses for the same person , such as * john . doe + lpadmin @ company . com *. This type of email addressing is typically enabled by default but can be disabled by the mail server administrator .
For the second use case , we are providing a comprehensive solution in version 24.09 . An administrator of a group ( organizational unit ) can invite a user who already exists in Code- Meter License Portal but is linked to a different part of the hierarchy to join their group . The invited user will receive an email notification and a notification within CodeMeter License Portal . If they accept the invitation , they will become a member of the new group from that point onward .
The inviting administrator of the new group defines the permissions that the user will have within their group . The rule still applies that the administrator can only assign rights that they themselves possess . The permissions are set during the invitation process but can be modified afterward . It ‘ s important to note that an invited user who is an administrator in Group A does not automatically become an administrator in Group B after being invited . Permissions are defined separately at the group level and are only inherited by subgroups .
Primary and Secondary Groups An invitation creates a secondary relationship with a group . The group in which the user was originally created is and remains their primary group . If a user was created without being assigned to a group , they can still be invited to join a group , but in that case , they do not have a primary group . This situation occurs with self-registered users or users created by one of the top-level administrators .
