Access to Meddbase is governed by Licences. One needs to be applied to a user in order for this user to have access to the system. Licences can be added and removed by users with the correct permissions.
Licenses are separated into seats. In your contract, you will be allocated a certain number of seats. These seats can be split into 2 license types: Full time and Concurrent. These licenses have a seat value associated with them:
- 1 seat is the equivalent as 1 full time license.
- 2 seats are equivalent to 1 concurrent license.
License Types in Meddbase
Concurrent:
This license allows for more than one user to use this license as long as only one user is using it at any given instance. One concurrent license can be assigned to multiple users, each having their own individual username and password, but only one of the users assigned to the license can be logged in at any given moment. This is useful for users who may be part-time or work alternative hours and therefore would be beneficial to share the license.
Full Time:
This licence can only be applied to one user and is not shared. This simply allows one user access to the system at any given time. Usually applied to users who are on the system more regularly.
There are no restrictions or differences with these two licence types other than the fact that one can be shared. This also means that the concurrent usually costs more per month based on the fact that is can be shared amongst multiple users.
Management of Licences
Licenses can be managed by Meddbase users with the correct security permissions. To do so, please navigate from the Start Page to:
