Technician-based create group limit

The total number of groups that technicians can move in a day using the move group API depends on the total number of licensed help desk technicians (HDTs) in ADManager Plus.

If an API is used to move five AD groups, and three of them are successfully moved while two fail, it will be considered as three API calls. The maximum number of API calls an HDT can make is 50/day, irrespective of the tasks the HDT performs. If you have two HDT licenses, the total number of API calls that you can make is 100/day.

As the per day API call limit is not task-specific, you can perform any operation but the total number of API calls should not exceed 100. That is, an HDT can perform a variety of operations like user creation, OU creation, password reset, etc., but the number of API calls for all the tasks put together should not exceed 100.
