Laserfiche Avante uses Named User licensing, which reserves a licensed connection for each user account or device you grant access to. In order to give access to a user, you will need to configure the user through the Administration Console.
Note: You must be a system manager to administer named user licenses. See System Managers for more information.
Adding a Named User can be done in one of two ways. You can either mark an existing user as a Named User in the repository's Users and Groups node, or you can add a user to the Named Users and Devices list for the Server. You do not need to perform both steps. For instance, if you have a Laserfiche trustee called JSMITH, and you want to add that user to the Named User list, you can either flag that user as a Repository Named User in the user's Properties dialog in the repository (see Adding Existing Users to the Named User List), or you can add the user (along with its repository information) to the Named User list for the Server (see Adding a Named User). The same is true of Windows domain and LDAP directory Named Accounts. You can mark them as Directory Named Accounts either way, but you do not need to do both. Once a trustee exists in the repository and has been flagged as a Named User, its Named User status will be reflected in both places.
Named Devices can only be added to the Named User list for the Server. See Adding a Named Device for more information.
Note: If you are using WebLink with Laserfiche Avante, you can use Public Portal Licenses to allow anonymous public access to your repository. See Public Portal Licenses for more information.
