Choosing a subscription mode

An administrator can choose between two subscription modes in the Configuration Management (CM) environment record. The selected mode determines whether a user subscribes to a Configuration Item (CI) by using Change Management or by using Service Catalog.

If the mode is set to Change Management, a Self-Service user can subscribe and cancel subscriptions from the subscription list view on the Self-Service page. If the mode is set to Service Catalog, a user can only subscribe through Service Catalog, although canceling a subscription can still be performed within the subscription record. The default mode is Service Catalog.
