Managing subscriptions, instances, and users

You use the IBM SaaS console to manage your accounts and subscriptions, create and delete instances of Decision Intelligence, and control user access.

About this task

The IBM SaaS console External link opens a new window or tab provides the following capabilities:

  • View information about your account, such as the subscriptions in your account.
  • View information about your subscriptions, including usage statistics and details about the instances in your subscription.
  • Add users to your account, subscriptions, and service instances.
  • Assign roles to control user access to resources.

When a user creates a Decision Intelligence subscription, they become both the account and the subscription owner. The actions that you can complete in the IBM SaaS console differ for trial and Essential subscriptions. In a trial subscription, the subscription owner can use the console to upgrade the subscription to a paid plan.

Procedure

  • To view the status of a trial subscription, upgrade to a paid subscription, or view billing and usage data, open the IBM SaaS console by using the link in your welcome email.
  • To invite users to an account, subscription, or service instance, open the side navigation menu on the Decision Intelligence header and click Settings > Access control.
    You can also create a user group, assign it to a role, then add users to that user group. Users receive an email with a link to your Decision Intelligence instance. After you add a user, you can assign them to a role or delete them.
  • To assign a user to a role, select the relevant scope, and a subscription and service instance, if appropriate, then select the relevant role.
