Hi All,
This is an attempt to open up yet another box from Pandora's treasure trove...
Since Graphisoft opened up (?) the platform for external developers to create plugins, it would be nice to have a direct group handle that they can use from the companies' respective licensemanagment.graphisoft site and refer to for protentional floating license management for given plugins.
To be clearer here is a concrete casestudy:
We have worked together with Bimdots, the plugin developer team, and took part in the development of their floating licence managament option.
It works well from their side. (Thank you @Agi Gaschitz!)
But we have encountered an issue:
When we wish to attach our users to the license pools, we have to add them one-by-one for each given pool by providing their unique GSID handle on the plugins licence management site.
For GDPR reasons (understandably), the users' names are omitted on the plugins platforms, thus when we wish to manage our users' access to the given plugins it can be quite a hurdle to check GSIDs, and to find the correct ones to manage.
So the idea came to us: Since there is an option to create user groups on the licensemanagment site, it would make perfect sense to have a unique group GSID for each separate groupings that we crate. Thus for handling the plugins floating licenses we could provide the group GSID, and the team- and access management can be much more streamlined.
What do you think?
I have also created a wish regarding this: Company Group IDs for plugin license management - Graphisoft Community
If you see the protentional and the merit in it please give a vote for it 🙂
Cheers!
