Optimize your License Tier


If the License Monitoring app says that you can optimize your License Tier, we advise you to check out our other application called License Optimizer that can help you to do that.

License Optimizer will constantly check the user activity. If a user becomes inactive after a period of time the app will revoke the access permission until the next activity, clearing space and giving the option to other users in your instance to use it. The app will manage your Confluence Application Access group automatically adding or removing these active/inactive users. Everything happens in real-time and not via manual admin tasks! This way the users won’t experience any waiting time while the app is manipulating the permissions behind the scene.
