Manage product licensing and user authorization

System Platform can run under different types of licensing and security. Originally, System Platform was sold with a perpetual license that allowed customers to use the product for an unlimited length of time.This release of System Platform introduces Operations Control mode, and under Operations Control, additional capabilities for managing user access called the connected experience.

Operations Control uses AVEVA Identity Manager to provide identity service for AVEVA products. The AVEVA Identity Manager helps administrators to implement authentication and allows access tokens to be reused across different AVEVA products.

Connected experience extends Operations Control to enable single sign-on of all your users, and allows centralized user management in CONNECT

The section that follows describes the behavior of System Platform when running under Operations Control and connected experience. If you do not use Operations Control and connected experience, System Platform will continue to function as it has in previous releases.
