Automation Cloud admin guide
Configure whether services stop consuming units when they reach the units allocated to a specific tenant. This setting is configured independently per tenant and per service.
Prerequisites
- You have the Org Admin role or Tenant Admin role at the organization level.
- The tenant you want to configure has units allocated to it.
- The target tenant must be active. The Configure allocation enforcement icon (gear icon) is disabled for disabled and deleted tenants.
- You have reviewed the default enforcement behavior for your organization type, particularly if any tenants have existing overconsumption.
Enable enforcement for a tenant
-
Go to Admin at the organization level and select Licenses.
-
Select the Consumables tab.
-
On the unit type card for which you want to configure enforcement, select View Usage or View Usage (Preview).
- New Unit Consumption Experience: Allocation enforcement is configured using the Stop Usage feature. See Configuring consumption controls for the procedure. The remaining steps apply to the legacy (GA) dashboard only.
- Legacy (GA) dashboard: Continue with step 4.
The following image shows how the Configure allocation enforcement icon (gear icon) appears in the tenant table after selecting View Usage from the Consumables tab.
-
In the tenant table, locate the tenant row and select the Configure allocation enforcement icon (gear icon).
The Allocation enforcement dialog opens.
Warning:Changing the allocation enforcement setting has direct impact on your production processes. Review any possible cross-service dependencies before making changes.
-
Under Stop consumption at 100% for, select the checkbox for each service where you want to stop consumption at the tenant limit.
Note:Some services, such as Maestro and Gen AI activities, appear unavailable in the dialog. Enforcement is not yet supported for these services — they always continue consuming from the organization pool regardless of this setting.
-
Select Save.
Result: The services with enforcement enabled stop consuming units for that tenant once the allocated amount is reached. The exact behavior at the limit depends on the service — for details, see Per-service behavior at the enforcement boundary.
Disable enforcement for a tenant
- 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 table, locate the tenant row and select the Configure allocation enforcement icon (gear icon).
- In the Allocation enforcement dialog, clear the checkbox for each service where you want to allow overconsumption past the tenant limit.
- Select Save.
Result: The selected services may consume units past the tenant's allocated amount, drawing from the organization-level pool. Consumption notifications continue to be sent at 50%, 75%, and 90% thresholds.
Configure enforcement for multiple tenants
Enforcement is configured independently for each tenant and each service. There is no bulk configuration option — repeat the steps above for each tenant where you want to change the enforcement behavior.
View current enforcement status
- 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 table, select the Configure allocation enforcement icon (gear icon) on any tenant row.
Result: The Allocation enforcement dialog shows the current checkbox state for each service on that tenant.
