[@esdras.page](https://community.sonatype.com/u/esdras.page), as you may know, Sonatype Nexus Repository is licensed by _contributing user_ in your organization, not by the number of _accounts_ you create in the software itself. Because of anonymous access, or so-called ‘indirect users’ who never access Repository itself but whose work is published there from a CI server, the number of accounts can be quite different than the number of users you need to be licensed for.

So as long as you’re licensed for the full number of users in your organization, you’re free to create as many accounts as you like (or for that matter, have as many nodes as you like).
