Managing Users
Read more here: User Management
What are the user limits?
A user is a CommCare installation on a device like a tablet or phone. A web user, meaning someone who logs in to view CommCare to administer, view reports, or submit data via Web Apps does not count towards the user limit. The user limits are defined here.
How can I assign mobile workers and web users to each group so that they can’t access the other side’s data? E.g. the third party evaluation firm can export evaluation data but not project monitoring data.

I have a pricing related question.

Can multiple projects use the same license, assuming they can see each others data?
We don't recommend sharing subscriptions for projects, it can create complications with data sharing and application configuration. If you are planning to have multiple projects working with the same users (e.g. nutrition and health apps for the same group of people) that would be an exception.
