Mapping Subscriptions to Tenancies

Map tenancies to subscriptions within Organization Management.

An organization can have multiple subscriptions, which are managed by the parent tenancy. For example, an organization always starts out with only a single subscription (subscription A), but a child tenancy that later joins the organization can bring its own subscription (subscription B). The parent tenancy can then use Subscription Mapping to map subscription B to other tenancies in the organization. As a result, an organization's subscriptions can be mapped to any tenancy in the organization.

Tenancies mapped to a subscription consume from the subscription's credits (for Universal Credits Commitment subscriptions) and use its rate card . By remapping a tenancy to a subscription, the tenancy's usage applies to the terms and conditions of the subscription, including its rate card, credit consumption, and other agreements within the subscription's contract.

  • To map subscriptions to tenancies, follow these steps:

    1. From the parent tenancy, open the navigation menu and select Governance & Administration. Under Organization Management, select Subscription Mapping.
    2. On the Subscription Mapping list page, select the subscription that you want to map.
    3. Under Mapped tenancies, select Map subscription.
    4. In the Map subscription panel, add other tenancies to be mapped to this subscription. When you map the selected subscription to a tenancy, the tenancy stops consuming from the previously mapped subscription.
    5. Select Map subscription.

  • Use the oci organizations subscription-mapping create command and required parameters to assign the tenancy record identified by the compartment ID to the given subscription ID:

    oci organizations subscription-mapping create --compartment-id, -c [text] --subscription-id [text] [OPTIONS]

    For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

  • Run the CreateSubscriptionMapping operation to assign the tenancy record identified by the compartment ID to the given subscription ID.
