What are member based licenses primarily used for?

Member-based licenses are primarily designed for users who log in frequently to a community. These licenses enable organizations to fully leverage the capabilities of their Experience Cloud by allowing active community members to engage, collaborate, and consume content regularly. Frequent logins indicate that users are likely to participate in discussions, access resources, and contribute to the community’s overall value.

This level of engagement aligns with the intent of member-based licenses, which are tailored for users who need ongoing access to community features and functionalities, unlike options that refer to occasional logins or limited access. While members may indeed log in less frequently, the primary purpose of this licensing model is to support regular interaction and sustained involvement in the community.
