Options

The price for this expansion option is by agreement.

If there is interest, the allocation of permissions and control of releases within the working group can be taken over administratively on site. This is particularly interesting for work groups that have their own minor IT skills and want to react dynamically to changes in the workforce. The rights management is depicted via the user-friendly tool Access Manager (FMS).

This extension option can be ordered free of charge.
