License Seat Modes
This applies to: Managed Dashboards, Managed Reports
A license seat allows users to log on to Symphony. Two license seat modes may be available to support your organization's specific needs: Reserved (Named) Seats and Floating Seats.
Reserved Seats (also known as Named Seats)
Allows users to log on regardless of who else may be using the application.
Ideal for users who need use the application frequently or for long periods of time.
Seat types: Reserved Standard User, Reserved Power User, Developer.
Symphony Developers always use a reserved seat.
Floating Seats (also known as Concurrent Seats)
Floating license seats make it possible to support a large number of Symphony users.
The key is that the floating users cannot be using the application all at the same time.
The number of floating users logged on simultaneously cannot exceed a certain limit as determined by Symphony licensing.
Seat types: Floating Standard User, Floating Power User.
To better understand the concept of floating seats, think of chairs at a table. If all of the chairs are taken, people standing will have to wait until someone gets out of a chair before they can sit down.
Note: Accounts set as an API account do not consume a seat, but can only be used for making API calls without using the UI or making a data retrieval call.
