Overview
The Admin Center supports three licence types. The type controls how access to an application is granted and how it is counted across your organisation. Discngine allocates a licence to your organisation for a given application (the licence pool); you then assign it to users and groups.
| Type | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Global | Unlimited |
| Named User | Fixed number of seats |
| Credit | Shared pool of credits |
The three types
Global
An organisation-wide licence with unlimited users.
- No cap on the number of users — every member of the organisation can access the application.
- No quantity to declare.
- Best for enterprise-wide deployments where most users need access.
Named User
An individual, per-user licence explicitly assigned to specific users.
- A fixed number of seats is allocated to your organisation.
- Each seat must be assigned to a user or to a group.
- A user who belongs to several groups carrying the same licence is counted once.
- Can carry a start and end date.
- Best for controlled access or smaller populations with a specific contract count.
Credit
A consumption-based pool of credits shared among users.
- Credits are consumed as users perform actions or use resources.
- Has a declared quantity, and can carry a start and end date.
- Can be assigned to users or groups for flexible allocation.
- Best for pay-per-use applications or variable usage patterns.
Pool size
Named User and Credit licences are defined by the size of the pool allocated to your organisation (seats or credits), which Discngine sets.
Multiple licences per application
Your organisation can hold several licences of different types for the same application at once — for example a Named User licence for a specific module alongside a Global licence for the base application. Each licence in the pool carries its own type and quantity.
Who does what
- Discngine sizes the licence pool for your organisation: the type, the quantity and expiration dates. If you need more seats or credits, contact Discngine.
- Organisation Administrators and Application Administrators view the allocated licences and assign licences to users and groups.
