Licensing
Phase 8: Configuration > Licensing
The licensing scheme uses different concepts and affects the operation of the security scheme.
A licensed application is the one that requires a use license to be used.
A use license is generated by the manufacturer and distributed in an XML file digitally signed. Each Deyel environment must import the corresponding use license.
A use license determines:
•The name of the company for whom the license is defined.
•Its identification.
•The platform or modality (Cloud, On Premise).
•The license type (Subscription, Perpetual, MyWay).
•The environment (Development, Test, Production, Trial).
•The validity period, with its issuance and renewal dates.
•The licensed applications can be used in the environment and for each one, the number of user licenses available.
Each of the licensed applications defines different types of user licenses. The use license defines for each licensed application, the maximum quantity of user licenses of each type, that can be assigned in the environment.
In the case of Deyel the user license types are the following:
•Participant
A participant user uses Deyel to participate in the defined processes, as well as using forms, calendars, chats, etc. either initiating a case or performing some subsequent activity inside that same case.
•Agile Modeler
An agile modeler is a business user that uses Deyel platform to define their web forms from predefined templates or doing its complete design. They can adequate them to the business needs, by adding a process or defining access permissions and its visibility, to finally publish them for its use.
•Deyel Modeler
A Deyel modeler is an IT user that uses Deyel platform to design and build their object models for the development of applications of low code. Uses tools of graphic processes modeling and forms to build, document and implement the process and business entities of the organization. This type of modeler also defines the roles and agents, and can implement more complex business logic using assistants that allows them to incorporate Java components.
They can implement the integration with other applications or basis of external data, behavior or more complex validations in the forms, using the advanced edition of the scripting. Uses tools to export and import their models and information of the environment.
In the case of solutions as CRM, Stock Management or Contracts, the user license types are the following:
•Participant
A participant user can use the solution according to the access permissions they have assigned.
•Administrator
An administrator of the solution is a user that uses Deyel platform to extend the solution.
Example:
•Enable the use of Deyel, considering up to 100 users of participant type, up to 50 of agile modeler type and up to 10 of Deyel modelers type.
•Enable the CRM use considering up to 100 participant users.
Access Permissions - Required User License
The access permissions of a licensed application establish what type of user license is required. In the case of Deyel there exist predefined permissions that require a license of Deyel modeler type, others require a license of an agile modeler and others only require a license of participant type.
Assignment of User Licenses and Access Permissions
On the profile of each user, it is indicated:
•The licensed applications that can be used and the type of user license that they are assigned to use them.
•The assigned access permissions.
When access permissions of a licensed application are assigned, it is controlled that:
•The licensed application can be used by the user.
•The type of user license is compatible with the required one by the access permission.
To authorize the execution of a security function, it is verified if it is in any of the access permissions assigned to the user.
The corresponding permissions to a licensed application, are ignored when:
•The use license does not enable the use of such licensed application.
•The use license does not enable the user license type required by the security permission.
•The user does not have the user license type required by the security permission.
MyWay Use License
All Deyel solutions have a licensing modality that allows them to be fully customized. Installing a “MyWay” type of license allows to transform the solutions available in the environment into non-licensed applications, so they can be modified as any other own application.
The solutions with use license from this type cannot be automatically updated when the version of Deyel is updated, but the adaptations made in the environment are strictly respected.
When a “MyWay” type of license is installed:
•All the solutions that the environment has licensed adopt the “MyWay” modality.
•Any user that has the “Global.Modeler” permission can model objects of the environment solutions to adapt them freely.
•Once this license type has been installed, the environment must remain in this licensing modality.
