WOPI - Business User term clarification

Question

I am investigating adding Office Online support to a product using WOPI to allow its users to view and edit office files.

While reading the WOPI docs there is a section on 'Editing' and it introduces the concept that a user (of my system) can be either a 'Consumer' or a 'Business User'

My question is: What means one of the users using my system needs to be flagged as a 'Business User' in the WOPI Api in relation to the table in this section of the docs -> http://wopi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/overview.html#editing-office-files

I can't seem to find a definition for the term 'Business User' in the WOPI context (unless I have missed it. :) ) I need to understand so I know if my users need a 365 subscription or not in order to edit files and for which users I need to set the 'Business User' placeholder in the action url's to 1 for.

I would have thought that all of the users using my system are consumers as they pay to use it, or is it case of:

• Consumer = Joe Public, single user
• Business User = Employee of company paying to use my system (In which case all my users are 'Business Users')

Thanks.

Can you quote the part that is unclear to you? – Metalworking

@PatrickHofman It's the meaning of 'Business User' from the table in this section of the docs -> wopi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/… If the user is a 'Business User' then the BUSINESSUSER placeholder in the action url's is set to 1, but I'm a little confused as to what makes a user a business user. I would have thought that all of the users using my system are consumers as they pay to use it, or is it case of: Consumer = Joe Public, single user Business User = Employee of company paying to use my system In which case all my users are 'Business Users' – Unbridled

Please add that to your question. – Metalworking

@canters were you able to figure out the difference between those two types of users. – Jocelin

@Jocelin - No I don't believe I did. Sorry. I not longer work for the same company anymore and don't have access to the final implementation. Hope you are able to resolve your issue. – Unbridled
