Limiting user to Epicor MES only

We have some users that are only supposed to log into Epicor MES, but sometimes log into our regular Epicor which consumes a license. Is there a way to limit a specific user to only log into Epicor MES and not full Epicor?

Thanks!

Welcome @USAHufford !!

If there are no MES licenses available and there are standard ones open, they will consume one.

I have a BPM on Ice.Lib.SessionMod.Login for this.

Note to self, that method might be deprecated…

But the key code is borrowed from this site:

// Thank you Jose: https://www.epiusers.help/t/epicor-license-guids/61669

switch (this.Session.LicenseTypeId.ToString().ToUpper()) 
{
  case "00000003-B615-4300-957B-34956697F040":
  MySessionType = "Default";
  break;
  
  case "00000003-B8EB-40C4-8897-248CB30C5D47":
  MySessionType = "Data Collection";
  break;
  
  case "00000003-9439-4B30-A6F4-6D2FD4B9FD0F":
  MySessionType = "Web Service";
  break;
  
  case "00000003-C071-4FD8-900D-F58EE96BBCCE":
  MySessionType = "Enterprise Processing";
  break;
  
  case "00000003-94E7-4DCB-BAFD-A6CA7F21AA9B":
  MySessionType = "Data Administraion"; 
  //What is this? See Ice.License.SessionTypes.DataAdministration
  break;
  
  default:
  MySessionType = "Other/Unknown";
  break;
 
}

“Default” is the only license type I get protective of (i.e. block people from it).

I made a security group for Default license users and apply it to the users that (I feel) need it. Then a BPM condition for that.
