Seat allocation per license
Based on your license, you have a defined number of seats available per application. Those seats are consumed by users according to the roles and permissions they have.
Users consume seats only by getting these roles and permissions. Once these roles and permissions are unassigned, users' seats become available again and you can assign these seats to other users.
A single user can consume up to one seat for each application.
Each user with at least one role or permission related to Talend Cloud Data Preparation, Talend Cloud Data Stewardship, Talend Studio, and Talend Cloud Pipeline Designer consumes a seat for that application.
- Roles
- Environment Administrator
- Infrastructure Administrator
- Operator
- Permissions
The following table presents the names and IDs of permissions which consume a seat in Talend Management Console Permission names Permission IDs Static IP - Manage TMC_STATIC_IP_MANAGEMENT Promotion - Manage TMC_PIPELINE_MANAGEMENT Promotion - Start TMC_PROMOTION_EXECUTION Operations - Manage TMC_OPERATOR Export Logs - Manage TMC_EXPORT_LOGS_MANAGEMENT Engines - Manage TMC_CLUSTER_MANAGEMENT Environments - Manage TMC_ENVIRONMENT_MANAGEMENT
The following example demonstrates how Talend Cloud administrators can handle seats among users:
When external consultants do not need to access Talend Cloud any more, you decide to keep their accounts in your Talend project so that their personal objects remain, but remove their roles and permissions to release seats. If, later on, you reassign these consultants to the same project, they do not automatically get any seats back and so their accounts are not operational, until you reassign them roles and permissions in the condition that some seats are still available.
When the number of users consuming seats exceeds the allowed number of seats
You may have received notification emails to remind you that the number of users consuming seats exceeds the number of seats allowed by your license.
This typically happens after a license change.
A due date to adjust the number of users accordingly is communicated in these notification emails. Before this due date, if you have deactivated users or unassigned user roles to make this number of users compliant with the available seat limits, you can ignore the following information.
- All objects in their Personal workspaces remain but will
not be accessible by the users that are still active, until you grant the Author permissions to these active users.
For further information about the workspaces, see Managing workspaces.
- All objects in their Shared workspaces also remain and will still be accessible by other users with appropriate roles.
