What is the nature and description of the request?

A customer company wants to have control over wich of their employees are allowed to use Ansible Lightspeed and wich not.

Many users from that company have a Red Hat account, but only a specific group is paying for the Code Assistant. Unfortunately, there is no way to specify who is able to use Ansible Lightspeed. It's all or nothing.

This feature was inherently available before, when Lightpseed customers had to distribute seats. But since the licencing model went away from seats, the feature is gone as well.

Why does the customer need this?

Customer quote:

"currently all users who registered in Redhat website can use lightspeed . Without seat management feature , we can’t control end user to use lightspeed features and we can’t split cost to different business units"

How would you like to achieve this?

Customer quote:

"by default , user in Redhat website don’t enable lightspeed permission . only selected user can be granted lightspeed permission for GenAI . the lightspeed enablement can be set with one period or permanently

Redhat website should provide one utilization report of lightspeed feature .in this report , it better to include username , token usage , task number , ansible module name and can be filter by daily ,weekly and monthly ."
