[ACCORDION-BEGIN [Step 1: ](Manage entitlements for the Launchpad service)]


**Entitlements** are your right to provision and consume a resource. They refer to what you're entitled to use (e.g., which services and service plans). To use the free tier plan for SAP BTP, you must first entitle your subaccount for the free plan.


1. In your global account, navigate to **Entitlements** > **Entity Assignments**.

!![Open Entitlements](1-open-entitlements.png)

2. In the **Select Entities** dropdown list, choose the `JobCore EMEA` subaccount that you want to assign entitlements to, and click **Select**.

!![Select entities](2-select-entities.png)

You'll see a table for the subaccount with all the entitlements it already has.

3. Click **Configure Entitlements**.

4. Click **Add Service Plans**.

5. Search for the **Launchpad Service** and then check the **free (Application)** plan that you want to entitle.

6. Click **Add Service Plan** to exit the popup screen.

[DONE]
[ACCORDION-END]


[ACCORDION-BEGIN [Step 3: ](Assign the Launchpad_Admin role to your user)]

To be able to access the SAP Launchpad service, users must be assigned to the `Launchpad_Admin` role. In this step, you'll assign yourself to this role so that you can access the service and create a launchpad site.

1. Click **Role Collections** from the side menu.

!![Open role collections](12-role-collections.png)

2. In the search field start typing `Launchpad` to find the `Launchpad_Admin` role collection.

!![Search for launchpad admin](13-search-launchpad-admin.png)

3. Click the `Launchpad_Admin` role collection to see all its details.

!![Open role collection](14-open-role-collection.png)

4. Click **Edit**

!![Click Edit](15-click-edit.png)

5. Under the **Users** tab, enter your email in both the **ID** and the **E-Mail** fields. Then click **Save**.

!![Add emails](16-add-emails.png)

You've now been assigned to the `Launchpad_Admin` role collection and you can access the SAP Launchpad service and carry out all your admin tasks.

> Note that it may take a few minutes for the admin role assignment to take effect. Until it does, you may get an "Access Denied" error when you click **Go to Application** in the next step.

[DONE]
[ACCORDION-END]

[ACCORDION-BEGIN [Step 4: ](Access the Launchpad service)]

You are now ready to access the SAP Launchpad service.

1. From the side panel, click **Instances and Subscriptions**.

![Open Subscriptions](17-instances-and-subscriptions.png)

2. Under the **Subscriptions** tab, click the **Launchpad Service** or you can click **Go to Application** on the right.

![Go to application](18-go-to-application.png)
