## How Licensing Works

Risksheet licensing distinguishes between all registered users on your Polarion server and the subset of users who have active editing access. Users not explicitly assigned to the Risksheet user group receive read-only access automatically.

<Tip title="Quick Reference">
  **Server users** = all registered users on your Polarion server. **Active users** = users explicitly assigned to the Risksheet user group who can create and edit risk items. All other server users receive read-only access automatically.
