Licensing For SCIM Enabled Users
QMetry allows the admin to choose how to manage user license types, either automatically or manually. The admin can select from the following options:
Automatic Management: QMetry automatically assigns and manages user license types based on the user's assigned projects, roles, and available licenses.
If a user is assigned only read-only roles for all projects, QMetry automatically assign a "Read-Only" license, provided there are available Read-Only licenses.
If a user has at least one project with a non-read-only role, QMetry automatically assigns a "Regular" license, as long as Regular licenses are available.
Manual Management: The SCIM administrator can manually assign and manage user license types using the custom attribute QMetry_User_LicenseType.

Understanding Scenarios for Automatic User License Management in QMetry
QMetry intelligently assigns and manages user licenses based on the user's assigned projects, roles, and available licenses. Below are different scenarios outlining how licenses are allotted:
Scenario | User License Action | Activation Status |
|---|---|---|
A New User is created with Read Only role assigned to all projects | Read Only | User Active. |
A New User is created with all Non-Read Only roles (Admin, Tester, QA Manager, etc.) assigned to projects. | Regular | User Active. |
User Update (Current License: Read Only) | ||
User has All Project Access as Read Only and a new Project with Read Only is assigned | Read Only | Older projects remain as assigned. New project/role are assigned as Read Only. |
User has All Project Access as Read Only Role and a new/existing Project with Non Read Only Role is assigned | License Type Changed to Regular | Older projects remain as assigned. New/updated project/role are assigned. |
User Update (Current License: Regular) | ||
User has All Project Access as Non-Read Only Role and a new Project with Non-Read Only Role is assigned | Regular | Older projects remain as assigned. New/updated project/role are assigned. |
User has All Project Access as Non-Read Only Role and a new Project with Read Only Role is assigned | Regular | Older projects remain as assigned. New project/role are assigned. |
