# 01. License Types Overview

**COBBLESTONE SOFTWARE**

Contract Insight — User Guide

**01. License Types Overview**

*03. Admin User Manual › Employee/User Management › 01. License Types Overview*

**Note:** Each procedure in this guide begins at the Contract Insight homepage, so any section can be followed on its own. Custom fields are configurable, so the exact field list on a contract category record may vary between environments.

# 1. Overview

Every employee/user account is assigned one of four license levels — **Admin**, **Super**, **Standard**, and **Read-Only** — which together determine what that person can see and do in the application. Administration > **License & Session Usage** shows, live, how many seats of each level are currently in use against the license's total **seat** allotment (in this QA environment: 24 **Admin**, 1 **Super**, 2 **Standard**, and 0 **Read-Only** seats in use, each against a cap of 10,000), plus a 7/30/90-day history of peak sessions by license type and an all-time peak-concurrency figure. The same **license level** is selected for a new account on the first step of the **Add Employee** wizard, where the **seat** count for the chosen level is checked live against the system's licensed maximum before the account can be created.

# 2. Key Elements

- The four license levels are **Admin**, **Super**, **Standard**, and **Read-Only**; higher levels generally unlock broader administrative and editing capability, while **Read-Only** restricts an account to viewing records.
- Administration > **License & Session Usage** (also reachable from Session Manager via the "Usage" link) shows a live "Right now" **seat** count per **license level** plus historical peak-usage figures over a selectable date range.
- **Seat** availability is enforced at account-creation time: the **Add Employee** wizard's first step shows current sessions for the selected **license level** against the licensed maximum before allowing you to continue.
- An existing employee's **license level** can be changed from their own record's summary panel (a **License Level** dropdown with an Update button) without going through the full edit form.
