When planning FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications deployment, consider creating roles with varying degrees of permissions that correspond with your users’ responsibilities. For example, you may want to enable some users to manage license availability, but restrict their ability to start or stop a license server or vendor daemon. To do this, you could create a new role, ck_usage, with just the Manage Licenses and Manage Licenses in Use permissions selected. Then, when you add these users, assign them the ck_usage role.
