MEASUREMENT TOOLS
 The metering of Private Cloud systems will be triggered centrally for all your systems to free up capacity on
your side. This is technically possible with the following releases and Support Packages:
– SAP BASIS 753 - 1809 SP7
– SAP BASIS 754 - 1909 SP5
– SAP BASIS 755 - 2020 SP3
– ≥ SAP BASIS 756
 Your systems need to be on any of those releases and SPs to be enabled for the automated metering.

ON PREMISE
USER CLASSIFICATION
Many different named user types
Specific definitions in the contract
(„Limited Professional“)
Users of LoB solutions („Engines“)
need a named user license
Often manual classification
required, no automated user
classification available
PCE
USER CLASSIFICATION
Simplified use type definitions in
SAP S/4HANA Cloud („Core Use“)
Pure use of LoB solutions requires
no additional user license („Engine
Use“)
Development access based on
activities in the development systems
Manual classification only in some
cases required (like for Engine
Systems)
Authorization based ruleset allows
automated user classification in
SAP S/4HANA Cloud systems
Authorizations of users need to fit
to the use types
SAP Private Cloud: User Classification S A P S / 4 H A N A P C E
U S E T Y P E S
• SAP S/4HANA Cloud advanced use
Authorized Users (as defined in the GTC) are permitted to
use all solution capabilities of RISE with SAP S/4HANA
Cloud, private edition, inclusive of display and approval use
rights
• SAP S/4HANA Cloud core use
Authorized Users (as defined in the GTC) are permitted to
use the solution capabilities as defined in the Software Use
Rights of RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition
• SAP S/4HANA Cloud self-service use
Authorized Users (as defined in the GTC) are permitted to
use the solution capabilities as defined in the Software Use
Rights of RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition
• SAP S/4HANA Cloud development access
Users who are authorized to access the development tools
provided with the licensed SAP S/4HANA Enterprise
Management Software for the purpose of making ABAP
Addons to any SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition
packages.
• SAP S/4HANA Cloud Tech. Engine use
The user type ‘SAP S/4HANA Cloud Technical Engine Use
should be assigned to individuals who are not (and do not
have to be) licensed for the use of SAP S/4HANA
Enterprise Management, but need access to the
SAP S/4HANA system exclusively in order to execute
functionality of one or more licensed software packages
(“Engines”).
