Summary:

To comply with Highland's latest licensing requirements, all Penta Customers were migrated to the new Hyland Simplified Licensing structure. The new Licensing structure is based on Named User Licenses and replacing the legacy Concurrent Licensing model.

Previously, when a new PENTA user is created and assigned to user groups, Penta reaches out to OnBase using the API calls to create the new user, assign it to the user groups, then tests the account to make sure that it can access OnBase. To ensure that users that do not need access to OnBase are not accidently consuming a Named License, Penta has updated the the user creation process to no longer connect to OnBase and create a new user.

 

Creating an OnBase User:

  1. Launch OnBase Configuration. Navigate to Users > User Names / Passwords

  2. Enter the name for your new users and select the CREATE button

  1. Enter the Users Real Name, Email and Password
