I would like some clarity on the difference between users, roles, and licenses in Axle. These terms appear frequently, but I want to understand how they differ and how they relate to one another.
Certainly.
-
User → An individual account created in the system
-
Role → Defines what actions that user can perform
-
License → Grants access to use the platform
These are three separate control layers.
To explain further:
A user may exist in the system, but without a license, they may not be able to access applications.
A role determines what that licensed user is allowed to do within an app.
So roles control permissions, while licenses control platform access?
Correct.
Can a user exist without a role?
Technically yes, but without a defined role, their access and actions would be restricted or undefined.
That distinction is much clearer now.
