Using Metering

Metering is the process of refining a user's authorization based on some usage-based criteria (meters), such as the number of pages viewed, user concurrency, or resource usage. Metering allows you to limit access based on rules other than access lists. The default request types supporting metering are document requests and query requests.

note icon Metering requires a meter service. NXT 4 does not ship with a standardized meter service. The NXT 4 System Developer Kit provides a C++ API that you can use to write an access control data service. Contact Rocket Professional Services for more information.
