What is the idea?
We are considering whether it would be feasible and helpful to make a simplifying change so that your FlexNet installation has a single type of enterprise group (that is, Location, Cost Center or Business Unit) configured that will be used for all data access restrictions configured in roles and for license group assignments.
If this change is made, you would not be able to configure role-based data access restrictions in roles or do license group assignments based on different types of enterprise groups. All such restrictions & assignments in your FlexNet system would have to be based on either the Location structure, the Cost Center structure, or the Business Unit structure.
What is driving this?
We have made the following observations about the use of enterprise groups:
So what?
If you have thoughts on whether it would be good or bad to make a change like this, or have other related ideas, please comment here.
I have not found anybody who has role-based data access restrictions or license group assignments configured using different enterprise group types on different roles/licenses at this point. So if you are doing this, I would particularly love to hear from you: feel free to PM me if you do not wish to reply publicly.
