Understand licenses and feature visibility
Licenses control top-level modules; roles control functions, and objects can have separate rights.
Review entitlements
- Administrators open Configuration Management > Product License Management.
- Inspect licensed modules.
- Compare with user roles and menus.
- Distinguish unlicensed features, missing grants, and object scope.
Actual entitlements determine combinations; this is not a fixed button-level matrix.
Distinguish capabilities
| Capability | Boundary |
|---|---|
| Basic modules | Standards, metadata, quality separately licensable |
| Metadata lineage | Basic/end-to-end inspection from metadata objects |
| Data lineage | SQLink maps/scenarios and advanced features; separately entitled |
| Metric Standards | Basic data-standard metrics |
| Metric Management | Definitions, mapping, applications; Data Metrics license |
| Governance agents | Optional AI assistance; without entitlement, chat and related AI features are hidden |
DDC includes catalog/marketplace; DDS includes security/gateway. Documentation organization does not imply purchase/deployment bundles.
Diagnose missing menus
Check environment, license, roles, object rights, and enabled deployment. Administrator visibility does not establish all-user rights.
