23. USER DAYS & USER DISTINCTIONS
I. CloudShare Enterprise Agreements may include allotments of consumption based “User Days”, defined in quotes as “Administrator Days”, “End User Days”, “Trainer Days”, “Student Days”, “Vendor Days”, or “Customer Days”. These “Days” are calculated by totaling the distinct users who have launched or accessed CloudShare virtual machines on distinct days.
Example of users who have launched or accessed CloudShare virtual machines:
(1) An administrator, sales engineer or trainer accesses a running environment and does not share it to a student or other end user. Since this user launched the CloudShare virtual machine, the total would be one distinct user on one day, or one “User Day.” (2) A user joins another user in the same CloudShare virtual machine. Since both users have accessed CloudShare virtual machines for one day each, the total would be two distinct users on one day, or two “User Days.” (3) A user launches an environment for automated testing but never accesses the machine directly. Since the user launched the CloudShare virtual machine, the total would be one distinct user on one day, or one “User Day.” (4) A student or demo recipient logs into a machine launched via the CloudShare API on a website portal. Since the user launched the CloudShare virtual machine, the total would be one distinct user on one day, or one “User Day.”
Users who have not launched or accessed any virtual machines are not counted in “User Days”.
(1) A user who edits an environment policy, checks on their subscription, or assigns new users without launching or accessing any CloudShare virtual machines has not consumed a “User Day.” (2) A user who is sent an external invitation, but who does not launch or access a CloudShare virtual machine has not consumed a “User Day.”
II. CloudShare Enterprise Agreements may distinguish between users who are “Administrators” & “End Users”, “Trainers” & “Students” , or “Vendors” &
“Customers.”
(1) Administrators, Trainers and Vendors are CloudShare users: “CloudShare users” have access rights allowing them to create environments, control policies or invite others to environments or classes. These privileges are not granted to End Users or Students. (2) End Users, Students, or Customers are external users: External users can access CloudShare only by accepting a classroom invitation or end user invitations. They cannot create environments without such an invitation, and cannot alter their environment policies or invite new users to CloudShare.
