user allocations are a manual step and not restricted to publisher packs.

Hi,

Thanks for the response. I have a quick question . if the publisher console has 100 user allocations. then after configuring the publisher pack shall we get the 100 user allocations in the ServiceNow instance or do i need create(manually) those 100 user allocations in the ServiceNow ? Please help me with this query.

Thanks,

S

Hi @snow57,

the "100 user allocations" from your publisher portal/console will appear as user subscriptions in SAM Pro and are linked to the software model. You've to create the SAMP Pro entitlement allocations manually or automated as part of the softwar model result remediation options.
