Test Cloud admin guide
Consumption controls let Organization Administrators and Tenant Administrators define what happens when a tenant's unit consumption reaches critical thresholds. Two types of controls are available: per-service automatic stoppage when consumption reaches 100%, and consumption notifications that alert at fixed thresholds.
Prerequisites
- You must be an Organization Administrator or a Tenant Administrator for the tenant you are configuring.
Configuring Stop Usage
The Stop Usage card in the Consumption Controls section shows how many services are currently configured to stop consuming units automatically when the tenant reaches 100% of its allocated units. For example, 3/4 services means enforcement is enabled for three out of four eligible services on that tenant.
To configure which services stop at the tenant limit:
-
Go to Admin at the organization level and select Licenses.
-
Select the Consumables tab.
-
On the unit type card, select View Usage or View Usage (Preview).
-
In the Tenant Allocations section, select View Tenant on the relevant tenant card.
-
Scroll to the Consumption Controls section.
-
Next to Stop Usage, select the edit icon.
The Allocation enforcement dialog opens. For configuration steps, see Configure tenant consumption enforcement.
Configuring consumption notifications
The Notifications link in the Consumption Controls section opens the licensing notification preferences for your user account at a tenant level. To subscribe to or unsubscribe from licensing consumption notifications:
-
Go to Admin at the organization level and select Licenses.
-
Select the Consumables tab.
-
On the unit type card, select View Usage (Preview).
-
In the Tenant Allocations section, select View Tenant on the relevant tenant card.
-
Scroll to the Consumption Controls section.
-
Under Notifications, select the Notifications link.
The Preferences page opens in a new browser tab, at Preferences > Notifications > Licensing.
-
Select or deselect the toggle next to the notification events you want to receive.
The following fixed consumption thresholds are available for unit type notifications:
- 50% consumption (severity: Info)
- 75% consumption (severity: Info)
- 95% consumption (severity: Warn)
Notifications are delivered in-app and by email. Thresholds cannot be customized and are the same for all unit types and all tenants in the organization.
For the full list of notification events and severity levels, see Licensing notifications.
