Desktop scientific software still needs practical account management. Labs need to invite members, manage subscriptions, see active devices, and control who can use the app without turning the analysis workflow into a cloud-only product.
Master Metabolomics separates those concerns. The desktop app runs the scientific workbench locally, while the web dashboard manages organizations, billing, team members, invitations, grants, and desktop device seats.
The desktop sign-in flow uses the system browser instead of embedding credentials inside the app. After sign-in, the desktop claims a seat for the user and device, and ongoing validation keeps access tied to the organization.
That model helps with shared lab environments. Admins can review active devices, remove members, release seats, and manage lab access while scientists keep using the local desktop interface for data analysis.
For educational, promo, or lab access programs, grants can be represented as time-bounded organization access rather than public free-tier marketing. That keeps operations flexible without making every grant visible on the public pricing surface.
