I have 20 Licences shared between my team finance users and service center users.

Is there any option that I can reserve 10 users for finance and the remaining for others. or is there any possibility to customize this requirement in NAV 2017.

Licenses are for concurrent users, no need to bind a license to a role.

You could check on codeunit 1 the team of the user (maybe with a custom field placed in the User Setup), then checking the Active Session table and managing the login accept or reject as you want.

Hi Stefano,

But this logic will restrict the Particular user to log in.

If your requirement is to reserve 10 licenses for finance and 10 for the others, in codeunit 1 when user A (department Finance) connects to NAV, you can check the Active Session table and count how many Finance users are connected to the system. If > 10 then rejects the login, otherwise login is ok.

It could be a possible solution...

Why to make it so complicated, instead of this why not to kill the session of idle users or the one who want to kill?

The problem here is not killing a particular session, but having a way to reserve 10 licenses to users of a particular department. So, 10 finance users can connect, the 11 finance user must be automatically killed while a sales user must be admitted.

Do you think that's logical to kill any of the users session automatically without letting them know and without even anticipating how intense processes they have been enrolled with.

No kill other user's session, but avoid this user to login if the maximum number you want for department is reached.

Example:

I'm a user of the Finance department. My sysadmin set that maximum 10 users of the Finance department can be connected to NAV simultaneously. Now there are 10 users connected and I'm out of NAV.

When I try to connect to NAV, the code checks how many users of my department are connected --> 10 users --> I can't login to NAV (I receive a custom message)

When connected Finance users are (for example) 9:

I login to NAV, the code checks the sessions for departments --> 9 users --> my login is OK.

I don't know if I'm clear, sorry... :)

This is a standard scenario for example in healthcare, our NAV addon does this. No user's session are forced to be disconnected, obviously.

This is exactly What we want to perform. But can you suggest is their any inbuilt functionality in standard Nav to check who all are working in a specific Department ex: Finance.Or Any Customization that can be done regarding this in Nav. It seems you have an add-on to perform this functionality. Please suggest.

No, there's no native function for this in NAV. You've to implement your custom function and use it from Codeunit 1.
