The User Administration page is where admins can manage users and configure licenses and permissions across Uncountable. This article focuses solely on the licenses, set in the User Listing tab. For information on other User Administration page actions, refer to:
Navigating to User Administration
To access User Administration, select Admin > User Administration from the navigation bar.
Licenses Overview
Licenses determine which features of the Uncountable platform a user can access. While user groups and project permissions control what data a user can see or edit, licenses govern what tools and workflows are available once inside the platform.
License Tiers
In the Licenses tab, you can view the different Uncountable license tiers, designed to match different R&D roles:
| License Type | Capabilities |
|---|---|
| Read-only | View ingredients, recipes, properties, dashboards, and activity. Cannot analyze or manipulate data (no specs, visualizations, notebooks, reporting, or predictive tools). |
| Basic | Store and search recipes, manage inventory and equipment, handle lab requests, export data, and use notebooks (ELN) and reporting tools. |
| Note: Basic users can view Visualizations saved to Notebooks by Pro users. | |
| Pro | Includes all Basic features, plus: analyze experimental data using visualizations and charts, manage experiments, and create Visualizations. |
| Advanced | Includes all Pro features, plus: predictive AI tools (custom models, suggested formulations, surface visualizations, and design experiments). |
User Licenses
In the User Listing tab, admins can modify a user’s license directly from the User License column. If the column isn’t currently visible, add it to the table first.
Once the column is available:
- Find the user in the listing.
- Click the User License cell and select the pencil icon to edit.
- Choose the new license from the dropdown menu.
