My Licenses

Create, manage, and customize your identity licenses.

What Is My Licenses?

The My Licenses page (/license) is your complete portfolio view showing all licenses you have access to, regardless of publication status. This includes your owned licenses, licenses you manage for others, and licenses you've been granted reviewer access to.

Unlike the Discover page which shows only public licenses, My Licenses shows your private, draft, and archived licenses too.

Portfolio Views

  • My Licenses: Licenses where you are the licensed identity (you own these)
  • I Manage: Licenses where you act as manager/trustee for others
  • I Review: Licenses where you have viewer/reviewer access
  • My Subscriptions: Licenses you've subscribed to from others

Portfolio Metrics

The page header shows total license count with breakdown: "X owned · Y managed" helps you understand your portfolio composition at a glance.

License States

Live and visible in the Discover marketplace. Available for subscription.

Archived

Hidden from Discover but preserved in your portfolio. Existing subscriptions remain active.

Rate Card

The rate card defines pricing for monetizable licenses. It appears on the license detail page and in Discover for potential subscribers.

  • Base Rate: The standard subscription price for your license
