### Flexible Access Rights

Via Flexible Access Rights (FAR) it is possible to restrict the overall functionality of a customer's BMS by a partner. BMS users that have been restricted with FAR will not be able to execute (and see) functions that are not being allowed/assigned for that specific BMS installation.

FAR allows the individual definition of the available functions for a specific BMS installation.

With FAR a partner has the option to create a customized BMS that offers only a subset of functions. By this option a partner can allow a customer to perform basic system management tasks himself. More complex management tasks can not be accessed with this customized BMS and will still be performed by a trained partner.

The FAR function is realized by creating specific User Profiles. The User Profile defines the functions that the user will have access to.

One single user may only have one User Profile, but a specific User Profile may be assigned to several users.

In addition to the User Profile a Master Profile can be created. The Master Profile restricts the BMS functionality per-installation level.

The following graph shows the Flexible Access Right principle:

Full BMS command range (all available BMS features) |
| Master Profile (BMS feature restriction per installation) |
| User profile 1 (Specific set of functions out of the Master profile)
User profile 2 (Specific set of functions out of the Master profile)

By applying a Master Profile the BMS functionality of the installation is restricted.

By creating User Profiles the BMS functionality per user is restricted. However a User Profile can only contain the functionality that is available in the Master Profile of the installation.

User Profiles may be exported to other BMS installations. Exported User Profiles may be used on another installation if the Master Profile allows usage of the specified functions.

### Basic BMS access after installation

Each sold BMS has a default Master Profile assigned after installation.

This default Master Profile allows for a basic set of programming and administrative functions. The default profile also covers the ability to handle User Profiles.

### Applying full BMS access after installation

For partners there is a full-access Master Profile available, which is delivered via a license key.

If a partner wants to provide a customer with full BMS functions he might decide to pass the full-access Master Profile to his customer. It's free for him to distribute this Master Profile among his customers, thus providing them with full BMS function access.

But in case the partner wants to provide a customer with a scaled-down BMS then he has to order the FAR license for this installation.

### License Scheme

##### Two BMS features are subject to software licensing

- BEA - BP Extension Assistant
- FAR - Flexible Access Rights

To activate BEA a special User Profile has to be turned-on in BMS. Then this User Profile can be assigned to all users that shall have access to BEA.

To activate FAR a one-time license must be purchased from the partner. This one-time license is valid for one BMS customer installation. It will authorize a partner to create Master Profiles for a customer's BMS installation.

For both features an unique license key has to be ordered.

The license key can be ordered by submitting the Installation ID that will be generated by the customer's BMS installation after loading them with a Master or User Profile. With the purchased license key the created BEA and FAR profiles can be permanently activated.

#### The following chart shows the BEA license process

Ericsson partner orderes license key by sending BMS installation ID AND the number of required BEA users
Ericsson partner receives license key and loads it into customer BMS (ordered BEA users are permanetly licensed)

#### The following chart shows the FAR license process

Partner generates deired Master Profile (FAR) (contains the BMS functionality thet customer shall be entitled to)
Partner loads Master Profile into customer BMS (profile temporarity valid for 4 weeks)
Partner orders license key by sending BMS Installation ID
Partner receives license key and loads it into customer BMS (Master Profile is permanently unlocked and licensed. Entitles for unlimited Master Profile adaptations for this installation)

### Applying a temporary BMS Master Profile after installation

A partner can perform a complete BMS customer installation by running the installation from the BMS CD-ROM.

In addition he can also apply temporary BMS access restrictions (FAR) and BEA licenses without the need to immediately have any license keys.

This temporary Master Profile/User Profile installation will be fully functional for two weeks. After two weeks the corresponding license key has to be entered at this BMS customer installation to permanently license the configuration.

This feature guarantees that a partner can install and customize a BMS completely at the customer site without the need to pre-order licenses.

Within the given time limit of 14 days the configuration (if FAR or BEA is installed) need to be licensed. For this purpose the corresponding license keys have to be ordered following the above-described routines.
