Setting user license and authorizations

In order to use the SyteLine add-in, you must have a valid SyteLine user name. This is the user name that is specified in the SyteLine tab of the Outlook Options dialog box.

Licenses

In an on-premises environment, special licensing is required:

  • To use any of the features, a SyteLIne user must be assigned a SyteLineAutomation license, or a Infor SyteLine users must be assigned an Automation license.
  • To view the Sales Contacts (Office) form, which is available in the Outlook Contacts tab as well as in SyteLine, SyteLine users must be assigned a SyteLineOfficeIntegration license. Infor SyteLine users must be assigned an OfficeIntegration license.This module allows you to display custom SyteLine forms inside Microsoft Office modules.
  • To open other SyteLine forms through the Explorer in Outlook, a SyteLine user name must be assigned a standard SyteLineAutomation license. An Infor SyteLine user must be assigned the Automation license. When the user opens an SyteLine form through the Outlook Explorer, one instance of that license is consumed.

For more information about any of these license types, see the Infor SyteLine Licensing Administration Guide.

In a cloud environment, SyteLine users do not require a special license.
