·       Analyzing software usage reports and establishing removal rules for infrequently used software.

 

 

Based on what is defined in the document, Software Asset Manager can use Software Asset Success Portal.

 

So I have reviewed documents on docs.

The document has described about sam_manager role.

Overview of the Value builder

The sam_manager role can identify and prioritize functionalities that haven't yet been implemented or aren't being used.

 

but i can't find sam_manager role in my instance.

 

Does the system role 'sam_manager' actually exist?

if it does not exist, Is it correct to explain to the customer that the 'sam_manager' role is a logical role, but in reality, it grants the same permissions as the 'sam_admin' role?
