We’re introducing a new licensing workflow in Lucid designed to reduce administrative load. This new setting ensures users get to work immediately without waiting for manual sign-off while providing admins a safety net to personally manage the final pool of available licenses.
What’s changing? We have begun a gradual rollout of these enhanced settings. To provide a more seamless experience, many accounts currently using the "Manually approve" setting will be migrated to the new "Manually approve after threshold" setting over the coming months.
To learn more about the new license settings, check out our Lucid admin panel: License settings article in the Lucid help center.
Legacy admin license setting
If you haven't been migrated to the new experience yet, you will still see the following options in your admin panel:
- Instant access: Automatically grant licenses to new members using your pre-purchased inventory. If licenses run out, members will join without a license. This will never trigger an automatic purchase.
- Manually approve, unless a license is available: Automatically grants licenses until your inventory is full. Once utilized, new requests move to a manual queue. If you purchase more seats, new requests are granted automatically, though older pending requests will still require your manual touch.
- Manually approve [Legacy]: All license requests must be personally reviewed and approved by an admin. Members will have limited access until you take action.
