Account model

SAP BTP’s account model defines how its elements are organized in a structured way for administration purposes. For the primary hierarchy, there are three levels that are containers for other elements: global accounts, directories, and subaccounts.

Important Note

At the time of authoring this book, SAP was transforming SAP BTP accounts to provide a better set of cloud management tools. This new variant is called Feature Set B, and the old variant is called Feature Set A. This distinction will possibly disappear after SAP converts all accounts. In this book, we will assume you are on Feature Set B. If your screens look slightly different from the images here, don’t worry; you will get the new features after SAP converts your account.
