Editing a grant

Edit a grant to restrict a policy for an application on hosts and users based on user/group management, timeframes, and the number of concurrent licenses.

Note: When editing grants associated with multi-user (concurrent) licenses, the sum of user licenses can be greater than the total allowed concurrent licenses.
