SAP BTP- Assigning Entitlements Step by Step

Posted by on

 As an admin, you should never assign entitlements randomly.

Every entitlement:

  • allows resource usage

  • may have cost implications

  • affects what developers can do

So even in a trial account, we do this carefully and intentionally.



Entitlements are always:

  • assigned at subaccount level

  • based on what is available at global account level

This means:

  • admins don’t assign entitlements to spaces

  • admins don’t assign entitlements to users

  • admins assign entitlements to subaccounts


In real projects, admins usually don’t guess.

They ask questions like:

  • What type of application is being built?

  • Which environment is used?

  • Which services are mandatory?

  • Which services are optional?

Only after this discussion are entitlements assigned.





Step 1: Go to the Entitlements section




This page shows:

  • which services are already allowed

  • which plans are available

  • what quota is assigned



.


Step 2: Click on “Configure Entitlements” and Choose a service to entitle

Note:
In the latest SAP BTP cockpit, the option earlier called “Configure Entitlements” is now shown as “Edit”.
The functionality is the same — this is where admins manage service entitlements for the subaccount



This is the screen where admins actually work.

Here, SAP shows:

  • all services available in the Global Account

  • which ones are already assigned to this subaccount


After clicking Edit in the Entitlements section, I clicked on Add Service Plans.



This is the screen that opens.


Step 3: Select the plan and quota and save the entitlement

Here, SAP is asking a very simple question:

Which service, and which plan of that service, should this subaccount be allowed to use?


Note: In trial account we have limitations what to choose.


Save the appropriate plan and save the service


Step 6: Check the Service Marketplace



Now go back to the Service Marketplace.

You’ll notice something important.

The service you just entitled is now:

  • visible in the marketplace

  • available with the plan you selected

This is where the connection becomes clear:

Entitlements control what appears in the marketplace.
