License type updates
License type information updates can be sent to Maximo® Application Suite when authorizations change or when the calculated license type has a different entitlement value in Maximo Manage.
License types are set in Maximo Application Suite and that data is synchronized to Maximo Manage with each new user. License type becomes part of the user profile.
In Maximo Manage, the
MasUserAnalyzer cron task regularly reviews and calculates license types,
according to the number or type of applications that users can access. License type is sent from
Maximo Manage to Maximo Application Suite if one of the following conditions
is met:
- A change to authorizations in Maximo Manage causes a change in the license type calculation.
- The calculated license type is higher than the entitlement value that was synchronized from Maximo Application Suite.
For example, a user is not given administrator entitlement in Maximo Application Suite. This user is synchronized to Manage and is added to a system administrator security group later. The new license type is sent to Maximo Application Suite.
