Account Types

FlexNet Operations categorizes accounts into four types: Producer, Customer, Partner, and Self Registered.

Partners and Distribution Tiers

Accounts can represent the relationship between a producer and its distribution chain.

Sub-Accounts

Accounts can have sub-accounts, which can be used to reflect the hierarchical nature of corporate structures. Accounts and sub-accounts are defined in a parent-child relationship.

Product Lines

When the product lines feature is enabled, FlexNet Operations filters what customer users see based on the product lines linked to the users’ accounts. Only entitlements that include products in product lines to which the user account is linked are visible.

Working with User Roles and Permissions

You can administer user access roles and permissions.
