Enable Users to create product subscriptions

Make subscription plans immediately available for newly registered users by creating templates for subscription plan Terms and Conditions (T&Cs). These templates are made available to all product creators within your Organization as part of product management.

Warning: Do not choose an Organization user scope because the first user who self serves a subscription subscribes the entire organization. This makes the data product visible to all users within the organization regardless of whether the package visibility settings are in place to prevent this.

Do not use the Multi User user scope because each subscription is treated as a Single User subscription and the user limit that is set is ignored.

Note: You must have the necessary Roles associated with your User Profile
