Managing Groups

Within the License Portal, you can easily view and manage groups and subgroups. As an administrator, you can add subgroups and view all subgroups for the current group as well as edit and delete groups.

NOTE: Navigation using the left menu is in context for the currently selected group. If you have the proper permissions to access more than one group, “bread crumb” links in the top menu allow you to navigate between groups. You can also access and navigate between groups by going to the Groups page.

Understanding Groups

Two types of groups are available in the License Portal and are based on software and appliances.Groups contain at least one user with access rights assigned to it. When an initial user account is created for your organization in the License Portal, it is created as a default user with administrative rights. When this registered user logs in, the License Portal represents the account as a root group, meaning it can have subgroups but has no parent group.

Software Groups

Groups can represent partners, companies, and subgroups within companies. They include organization information, can have an unlimited number of cores, and can include other groups, with no limit to depth. They also contain license pools and license pool amounts. The number zero (0) represents an unlimited license pool. For a subgroup, the number zero (0) signifies that licenses are drawn from the parent license pool. For more information about license pools and license allocation in groups, see the topic Understanding License Pools.

Appliance Groups

AppAssure appliances have one global group for all appliances, and each appliance has a unique license key that comes with a set of license restrictions (capacity, number of agents, and so on). Customers with both software and appliance (or software capacity) licenses typically have two groups in the License Portal: a software group with one license key for all software cores, and an appliance, or software capacity, group that has as many keys as purchased appliances, each unique to an appliance.

Viewing and Searching for Groups

Complete the following steps to search for and view the groups in your License Portal account.

If you have the proper permissions to access more than one group, “bread crumb” links in the top menu allow you to navigate between groups.
