Users

In SpreadsheetWEB, there are two types of users: public users and named users. A web application can be made publicly accessible by changing its Access Type to Unrestricted (All newly created web applications are Unrestricted by default). An Unrestricted (or public) application can be accessed by any number of public users or named users. However, the records created by public users (those accessing the application without logging into their SpreadsheetWEB account) will show as Anonymous in the user details and these users will not be able to access their saved data at a later time.

Both Restricted and Restricted with Registration access types will require users to login to their SpreadsheetWEB accounts. Named users can then access their records by logging into their accounts. Users with an account count towards your named users limit set by your license.

Named Users

The number of named users allowed is determined by your SpreadsheetWEB account type. In our Public Cloud accounts, the number of named users allowed by your license is as follows,

Note: The numbers above denotes the maximum number of users including the site admin. For example, the Trial edition allows no additional users while the team edition allows for four additional users.
