3419559 - How to change License type from "Concurrent" to "Named User" in SAP Analytics Cloud

Symptom

How to change license type from 'Concurrent' to 'Named user' in SAC?

Environment

SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD 2023.21.8

Resolution

  • Actions that change a Business Intelligence license from ‘concurrent session’ to ‘named user’:
    1. Changing the user property via Security-Users-Roles-Assign As (Workflow 1)
    2. Adding the user directly to an Analytic Hub Role, via the user interface.
    3. Removing all Business Intelligence roles directly from a user, via the user interface.
    4. Granting the user any Planning Role (by any means – including via a request role)
      • All Planning Roles consume a named-user license
      • After the August Q3 2023 update, removing all planning roles will return the Business Intelligence concurrent-session license if it was previously set before assigning the planning role(s). Before this update, the Business Intelligence license would always be ‘named-user’ regardless of its previous setting
    5. Using the SCIM API
    6. Using the Menu-Security-Users-Export and Import from file option
