In SAP Integration Suite, capabilities refer to the individual functional areas—such as API Management, Cloud Integration, or Event Mesh, which you can activate and manage based on your integration needs.
Before you or your team can use these capabilities, they need to be explicitly added to your SAP Integration Suite tenant. Activating a capability involves assigning the necessary roles, completing onboarding steps, and configuring access to ensure the right users can work with the respective tools.
Each capability also comes with its own set of role collections, which need to be assigned separately. These authorizations are managed via the SAP BTP Cockpit, specifically under the Security section. Here, administrators can assign the required role collections to users, enabling access to the newly activated capabilities.
For example, when activating the API Management capability, you first add it to your tenant and then go through a guided onboarding process via the API settings. After activation, role assignments in the SAP BTP cockpit are necessary so that users can securely manage, publish, and monitor APIs.
A detailed step-by-step guide on how to activate and manage capabilities—including required prerequisites, onboarding steps, and best practices—is available in the official SAP documentation:
