Features by License Type for Analytic Models

Three license types are available for SAP Analytics Cloud. The following tables describe the features available for each license type when you use an analytic model. Analytic models do not contain planning information. For a list of planning model features, see Features by License Type for Planning Models.

Note
An SAP Analytics Cloud for business intelligence license can be purchased as a User License.
  • A User License ensures that the assigned user can always access the application, regardless of how many other users are logged on. We recommend that administrators be given user licenses.
For more information, see Assign Roles to Users and Teams.
Note

When some licenses are removed from a customer account, content created from those licenses will be restricted for other end users, even those with administrator roles:

  • For digital boardroom, users, including content creators, will not be able to see the content. This can cause confusion when trying to delete an apparently empty folder. The message “The selected resources do not exist, or you do not have permission to delete them” is displayed.

If this happens, the account owner can still see, and delete and move content files. We suggest that a tenant owner performs these tasks.

The following list gives you quick access to the table you need:
