# Understand Company, Location, Terminal, and Licence Identities

### Understand Company, Location, Terminal, and Licence Identities

### Overview

This guide will help you choose the correct Muhasib scope when configuring access, devices, transactions, printing, and licensing.

Transactions and reports can be scoped differently by company, location, terminal, user, and licence. A correct licence does not automatically grant role permission, and a terminal master record does not by itself prove licence activation.

### Who can do this

You need access to No write permission is required to understand the model. Viewing each record depends on its module permission.

### Before you start

Identify the connected database and active company shown in Back Office.

Use Licence Information, company selection, Essentials Setup, and User Management to inspect each identity. This concept article has no single write path.

### Understand Company, Location, Terminal, and Licence Identities

#### Step 1: Confirm the connected database

#### Step 2: Confirm the active company before changing records

#### Step 3: Identify the location where work and inventory should be recorded

#### Step 4: Match the computer's application-terminal record to that location and printer

#### Step 5: Review Licence Information separately to confirm primary/additional-terminal status

Review Licence Information separately to confirm primary/more-terminal status.

#### Step 6: Check the user's assigned role, companies, and action permissions

### Check your work

You can name the database, company, location, application terminal, licence-terminal type, and user role involved in the intended task.

- If the same word “terminal” appears in licensing and setup, check which identity the screen uses.
- If a company is missing, check role assignment and licence scope before creating another.
