Change User Licence Type from Application to other?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 4,817 Super User 2026 Season 1

Hi,

while testing different access options I was playing around with the Licence Type on User card. Once I changed it to Application, no errors were shown, but the User is not listed in the page 9800 "Users".
When opening the table (in the URL adding &table=2000000120 I still see the user), and I cannot create him again, as it says User already exists.

Anyone knows how the Licence Type can be changed back in a user friendly way? Or only through some CMDLETs?

Anyone has experience with these additional licence types - External (user,administrator,accountant) and Application? Do they cost additionaly? Where they can be used? What are the limitations?

I have the same question (0)

    Updated user license type through Administrative Shell CMDLET. Didn't find any options to do it from User Interface or configuration package.

    Hi, information about External users can be found in the License Guide.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.
