      User management

      If you need to change the Licenses in your system for you’ll need to change the user settings.

      7. This needs to be done for every tenant, on the top right hand of the screen switch to another tenant and repeat the process for this user.Tenant example

        You must do this in every tenant otherwise you will end up with overallocated licenses and this will prevent all staff from accessing the system 

      I think I have over allocated licences how do I know and fix?

      Overallocated licences will mean that you cannot access any screens within the system, this is likely to happen if you have recently completed a downgrade and you are have not removed the additional user from the system in time or you have removed the old user but not in every tenant. When completing these steps please ensure you are checking every tenant.

      Finding out what Licence is over allocated

      1. Log in as Administrator
      2. Navigate to the Licence Maintenance Screen (SM201510) this will show you a list of all licenses, the limit your site has, how many are being used and how many are available. If any of the Licences are in red as shown below this is the license that is causing the problem.

      Existing user doesn’t have access to all tenants?

      If you have set the user us with the exact same license type, roles, username and email in all of the tenants you would like them to have access to and they still can’t see all of the tenants it is more than likely they have a different password. This commonly happens when they user is added to a new tenant at a later date. You must reset the users password in all tenants so they are exactly the same.
