“Email Addresses” Rule

This rule enables you to assign license types based on the user’s email address.

Usage Scenario : This rule could be useful, for example, in a scenario where your company has acquired another organization and you want to assign all members of that organization self-service licenses.

Refer to Creating a License Rule Set and Adding Rules to a License Rule Set for information on creating a rule set and adding rules to it.

To create your rule, specify the following information:

  • Name —Enter the name of the rule.
  • Rule Set —The rule set that contains your rule. This information is non-editable.

  • Email Addresses —Enter the email address or part of an email address that must match the email address of the user’s account information in order for a particular license type to be recommended. You can use the wildcard characters * (to replace multiple characters) and ? (to replace one single character). Separate multiple email address criteria with a comma or semicolon.

    • Only a single * wildcard character is currently supported in SAP custom rule sets. If a custom rule contains two or more * wildcard characters, the contents after the second * will be ignored.

  • Recommended License Type - Select the license type that should be recommended if the rule condition is met. Note that this license type set will be recommended for users within Classic Business Suite, S/4HANA and Non-SAP systems when the "Recommended license type for S/4HANA" is set to "Same as above" (default).

  • Recommended license type for S/4HANA - Select the license type that should be recommended for S/4HANA users if the rule condition is met. Specify a license type other than "Same as above" for cases where matching S/4HANA users should be recommended a different license type from Classic Business Suite users.

When you have provided all necessary information, click Create . The rule will be run, and you can examine the results immediately by clicking Show license recommendations in the Preview Results section.
