Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a mechanism for a multi-tenant platform operator (or a developer or publisher of an application or an extension to an existing platform application) to control the access and functionality available within the application or extension on an account specific basis, based on the subscription license terms applicable to each account/customer. Embodiments of the invention enable a more practical and efficient management of access controls and functionality for a relatively large customer base, where certain accounts, customers, or users may be entitled to a different or at least partially different set of rights and functionality.
