Machine Roles - Role Types tab

Note: There is only one machine role type, so all machines must use the Basic Machine role type.

Role Types

Kaseya licensing is purchased by role type. There are separate role types for licensing users by user role type and licensing machines by machine role type. Each role type enables selected functions listed in the User Roles > Access Rights tab and Machine Roles > Access Rights tab. The number of role type licenses purchased displays in the System > License Manager > Role Type tab. Each role type license specifies the number of named users and concurrent users allowed.

Machine Role Types

Every machine role must be assigned to a machine role type. For the initial release of Kaseya 2, there is only one machine role type. The machine role type determines the type of machine-based-license to apply to machines included in a machine role. For example, if you create a machine role called StdMach and assign StdMach to the machine role type called Basic Machine—and there are 150 machines in the StdMach machine role—then the System > License Manager shows 150 of the total number of Basic Machine licenses used.
