Scope
How much of what you see fits on a screen: your global view (all your organizations) or a single organization.
Client
Company you provide service to. Within Plenit, it is just another organization, which you access with your own account.
Main contact
The main contact person for an organization.
Account
Your personal identity in Plenit: a single user, with your email, your password, and your details. It is the same across all your organizations.
Security email
Email address associated with your account to recover access and receive security alerts.
Session status
Status of a login session: Active (open and in use), Inactive (not in use at the moment), or Closed (ended).
User status
Whether a user is enabled or disabled to access the platform.
Event
Each action or access that is recorded in your account or in your subscriptions.

Organization
Company or work environment within Plenit, with its subscriptions, users, customization, and data.
Main organization

Industry
The industry of an organization.
Service
The type of product a subscription corresponds to (Servers, Remote Desktop, Disaster Recovery, storage, among others).

Extra layer of security when signing in, using an authentication app (for example, Google Authenticator).
Global view / organization view
The two ways to see your resources: the total from Home, or only those of one organization from the Organization level.
