Additional Notes

Terminology: From Wingback: Entitlements Entitlements refer to the rights and permissions that a user or organization has to access and use a particular software service. SaaS entitlements may include a variety of permissions, such as the number of users who are authorized to access the service, the specific features or functionality of the service that a user has access to. The level of access a user has to the data stored in the service, and the measures in place to ensure the security and compliance of the service.
