Manage Entitlements Using the Cockpit
- How to add entitlements to a subaccount
Anja Nicole KretzAugust 25, 2022
Prerequisites
- You have one of the following:
- SAP BTP trial account: You must have registered for a trial account on SAP Business Technology Platform: Get a Free Trial Account on SAP BTP.
- SAP BTP consumption based enterprise account: You have a subaccount for which you want to manage entitlements. If you need help setting up your subaccount, have a look at Managing Subaccounts Using the Cockpit.
You can do this tutorial with trial accounts or enterprise accounts with a global account using cloud management tools feature set B.
If you are in a global account using cloud management tools feature set A, you can also do this tutorial but be aware that some UI elements might be called differently. For more information on the two feature sets, see Cloud Management Tools — Feature Set Overview.
If you are in a global account using the consumption-based commercial model, you can even try out services for free. To do that, you have to assign the entitlements using the free plan if it is available. Not sure what the consumption-based commercial model is and how it’s different from a subscription account? In our documentation, you can find a lot of information on that! Have a look at Commercial Models.
Every service has its own available plans:
-
Go to SAP Discovery Center to obtain information on which plans are available. To do so, search for the name of the service you are interested in.
-
Select the tile of the service you are interested in.
-
From the available tabs, select Pricing. You can now see all Service Plans available (such as Free, Default / Standard or Trial service plans). As an example, see the screenshot below.
- Step 2
- In your global account, navigate to Entitlements > Entity Assignments.
- In the Select Entities selection, choose the directory or subaccount that you want to assign entitlements to.
- Select Go.
You’ll see a table for the directory/ subaccount with all entitlements it already has.
- Select Configure Entitlements > Add Service Plans.
A popover appears with all entitlements available for your directory/subaccount.
Select the service and then the plan you want to entitle.
If you are in a global account using the consumption-based commercial model, you can select the service plan called Free here to test out the service without any costs.
Select the amount of quota you need.
- Select Add Service Plans to exit the popover.
- Select Save.
Congrats! You have now successfully configured entitlements.
