The BMC Helix Innovation Suite licensing grants the legal use of BMC Helix Innovation Suite and is necessary for performing unlimited operations that change the database; for example, creating or updating requests, and developing applications.

How licensing affects access control

In addition to obtaining a license to run the BMC Helix Innovation Suite and other components, you must specify a license type for each user. BMC Helix Innovation Suite includes a setting that enables you to permit users who are not recognized users to access BMC Helix Innovation Suite applications as a member of the Public Group. For more information, see User-and-group-access-overview.

Although licensing is not a component of access control, licensing can affect a user's ability to perform an operation that you grant the user permission to perform. For example, if a user is a member of a group that has Change permission to a field but you did not give the appropriate write license, the user cannot change the field.
