Since 2.1 we added the possibility to limit the number of "designers" (page editing, article editing, edition editing, tracking, GNXCapture, publishing) a group can use in the same time.

The gn4:group object has a new attribute, called processLimits, where to specify the number of max licences for each designer (0 or missing = unlimited, which is the default).

The same attribute is computed in the gn4:user object, considering the values configured into all the groups that contain the user. For example:

<user>

. . .

  <processLimits>

    <item processType="pageDesigner" max="2"/>

    <item processType="editionDesigner" max="5"/>

    <item processType="TracyDesigner" max="22"/>

    <item processType="GNXCapture" max="32"/>

    <item processType="publishDesigner" max="34"/>

  </processLimits>

</user>

If the user belongs to a group which has already reached the designer limit, then he cannot open more designers (even if there are available licenses in the system yet).
