Creating a license rule

You create a license rule to specify for which users a login access rule is available. It is possible to have a login access rule without a license rule, but in that case, the login access rule is applied globally across the system, and that is not recommended.

Do the following:

1. Open the QMC: https://<QPS server name>/qmc

2. Select License management on the QMC start page or from the Start drop-down menu to display the overview.

3. Select Login access rules in the panel to the right.

4. Select a login access rule and click Edit.

   Information noteTo create a new login access rule, see: Creating login access rules .

5. Under Associated items, select License rules.

6. Click Create associated rule.

7. Edit the license rules as needed:

1. Identification

Login access identification rules

Rule	Description
Disabled	Rule toggle. (Disabled by default)
Name	The name of the login access rule. (Mandatory)

2. Basic

   If you change the Resource filter, the rule may not work as intended.

The option Allow access is automatically selected.

!=	This operator is not case sensitive and returns True if the values in the compared expressions are not equal. Example:   user.name != resource.name All resources that do not have the same name as the user are targeted by the rule.

3. Advanced

   Define the resource, user, or combined Conditions that the rule should apply to.
