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 les. We suggest that a tenant owner performs
these tasks.

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

Features by License Type for Planning Models

Two license types allow you to use planning tools: SAP Analytics Cloud for planning, standard edition and SAP Analytics Cloud for
planning, professional edition. For Analytics features the Planning Users can perform please reference Features by License Type
for Analytic Models. Planning licenses include a full-use BI user, in addition to the planning features.

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

BI users 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.

For planning models, BI users will not be able to move or delete the content. The delete button will be disabled.

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

The following table describe the features available for each license type when you use a planning model.

Planning features include a set of tools to work with the data in planning models, such as creating and editing versions of the
data, performing allocations, and working with value driver trees. For more information, see Learn About Planning Model Data.
