Controlling License Management Console Access

For administrators to have access to the License Management Console, you must create user accounts for them. When you install the console, a user account with full permissions is created for you automatically based on the credentials you used to log on to the license server during installation. The console is designed for anyone who is administering Citrix licensing as well as people who need to run licensing reports. Because you might not want all users to have access to all features of the License Management Console, you can specify permissions on an account-by- account basis. After you create a user account, you can set user permissions for the four major areas of the console: current usage, historical reporting, configuration, and user administration.

When you create a user account, you must create a user name. You must preface the user name with the domain to which the user belongs. License

Management Console user names have the same restrictions as those in your server operating system. The password for the License Management Console is the same as the user’s domain password.

The User Access page on the User Administration tab lets you control not only what tasks console users can perform but also what features they can see in the License Management Console. However, at least one administrator must have full access to the License Management Console at all times.
