Qt License Server ACL file format

Create an access control list (ACL) file in JSON format (acl.json) to batch-import ACLs to an on-premises Qt License Server.

Possible data

The objects in the ACL file can contain the following data.

Name	Possible values	Description
licenseNumber	License number from Qt	The entitlement.json file lists license numbers.
effect	`Allowed` `Denied`	Allow or deny license use for the user.
users	username or email address, depending on Qt License Server configuration * indicates all users	User IDs separated by commas.

accessControl object

An accessControl object contains one licenses object. Each license record contains a license number and a list of users who can or cannot reserve the license, depending on the value of effect.

{
    "accessControl": {
        "licenses": [
            {
                "licenseNumber": "<number>",
                "effect": "Allowed" | "Denied",
                "users": [ "<username>" | "<email>" | "*" ],
            }
        ]
    }
}

longtermUsage object

A longtermUsage object contains one licenses object. Each license record contains a license number and a list of users who can reserve the license until its expiration date.

{
    "longtermUsage": {
        "licenses": [
            {
                "licenseNumber": "<number>",
                "users": [ "<username>" | "<email>" | "*" ],
            }
        ]
    }
}

Example ACL JSON file

The following example ACL file specifies the usernames of two users who can use one license and another two users who can use another license. Also, two users can use a third license until its expiration date.

{
    "accessControl": {
        "licenses": [
            {
                "licenseNumber": "11111111",
                "effect": "Allowed",
                "users": [
                    "a_user",
                    "b_user"
                ]
            },
            {
                "licenseNumber": "22222222",
                "effect": "Allowed",
                "users": [
                    "c_user",
                    "d_user"
                ]
            }
        ]
    },
    "longtermUsage": {
        "licenses": [
            {
                "licenseNumber": "33333333",
                "users": [
                    "a_user",
                    "b_user"
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
}
