[Enhancement] Adding license usage information to the users command #266

Open

Description

@AndrewOrrison

Summary

Summarize users that are licensed, and break it down to know which users are consuming a license.

This will be for both Incydr and CrashPlan licenses.

Licensing for CrashPlan:
If a user has a CrashPlan archive they consume a license.
If there are more users consuming a license than subscriptions licenses are assigned based on user creation date. There is then a grace period for users over the total, that lasts 30 days from a users creation date.
Licensing for Incydr:
If a user has an active device in an org that has Incydr turned on they consume an Incydr license. (yes it is this simple)

This would replace the standalone license report app developed by Code42 professional services..

Usage would include:

  • Listing out all users consuming both Incydr and CrashPlan licenses in an environment,
  • Only looking at license usage for deactivated users
  • Only looking at CrasPlan or Incydr license usage and not the other
  • Summing the results for a more organized report. (Users want to know how many licenses are in use by different sub organizations)

Proposed API

code42 users list --licensed
code42 users list --licensed --deactivated-only
code42 users list --licensed --preservation-only
code42 users list --licensed --security-only
code42 users list --licensed --sum-on [orgName,orgId,orgExtRef]

Intended Use Case

Admins want to know how many licenses are being used in their environment, especially over time so that they can track usage.

Having a code42 users list command would be very nice.. However, I am concerned about putting the branding into the CLI. We would be potentially setting ourselves up for breaking changes then... Perhaps the licensing portion of this would be better as a CLI extension

The commands don't need to be CrashPlan and Incydr We could do something more along the lines of preservation and security.
