Not a problem! Let&#8217;s begin by ensuring that you&#8217;re logged in to the &#8220;Default User&#8221; (or if you&#8217;ve re-named it, the user that has administrator rights). If you&#8217;re currently logged in as\u00a0another user, you can change to the default user by going to the <em>Main Menu &gt; General &gt; Change User.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;re logged in to the appropriate user go to the <em>Main Menu &gt; Options &gt; Settings &gt; Users. <\/em>Create your users here by clicking on &#8220;Add&#8221;. For each user, just below the password confirmation fields there&#8217;s a field called &#8220;Target Edition&#8221;. You&#8217;ll have three options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Highest Available: <\/strong>This means that if there&#8217;s a Premium license available, this user will always get the Premium edition first. If there isn&#8217;t one available (either due to not having a Premium license or someone else already using it) it will go to the next level which is Regular.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Regular or Free: <\/strong>This means that this user will use only the Regular or the Free edition (depending on which is available), even though there&#8217;s a Premium edition available for use.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Free Only:<\/strong> Users with this setting are restricted to the Free edition only (read-only mode).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>This access is on a first-come-first-serve basis. For example, if you have 2 Premium licenses and have 4 computers running inFlow, if all of them are set to <em>Target Edition: Highest Available<\/em>, the first two computers to log in to inFlow will use up the 2 Premium edition licenses. The other two will have to settle for Free edition until one of the first two closes inFlow!<\/p>\n\n<p>With the information above you should be able to set up accordingly. Below, we&#8217;ve outlined a scenario showing the different settings assigned to different roles in a sample company.<\/p>\n\n<p>Example setting:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Accounting Department<\/strong> = Free Only<\/li>\n<li><strong>Technician = <\/strong>Highest Available<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sales Rep 1\/Sales Rep 2 = <\/strong>Regular or Free<\/li>\n<li><strong>Admin =<\/strong> Highest Available<\/li>\n<li><strong>Server = <\/strong>Free only<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>With this example setting:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #666666\">the accounting department has read-only access to generate reports for accounting numbers<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #666666\">the &#8220;server&#8221; login is used for the server\/main computer so it doesn&#8217;t accidentally use up a license that would be needed for other users. You can also avoid this by just closing inFlow on the server computer. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #666666\">the Technician would have the <em>Highest Available<\/em> so that he\/she can use the work orders to build parts (which is a premium only feature).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #666666\">the Sales Reps need access to the Regular edition to do sales orders, so they are set to <em>Regular\/Free<\/em>. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #666666\">the admin\/default user cannot be changed and is always set to <em>Highest Available<\/em>. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you&#8217;ve got multiple licenses under your web account and need to control which user uses which edition?
