Review the list of unresolved subscriptions on the Subscriptions without user page in the [License operations view](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/f97mKB9sVuReYp71DCuFZA "Use the License operations view in Software Asset Workspace to manage software asset operations. These operations include management of licenses, contracts, discovery, client access, resource value, user subscriptions, content suggestions, software asset success, cloud cost simulation, SAM implementation, IBM ASP, IBM ILMT V2 integrations, and engineering apps integrations."). Note the User principal name value for the subscription and then verify if this value matches any entry in the User \[sys_user\] table. If no match is found, configure the rule accordingly. ## About this task SaaS integrations create subscription records in the Software Subscription \[samp_sw_subscription\] table with fields populated by automated jobs and integrations. By default, the User field is resolved by matching the User principal name column value with the Email and User ID fields in the User \[sys_user\] table. To accurately map user data when user data isn't resolved, create a user resolution rule. ## Procedure 1. Navigate to WorkspacesSoftware Asset WorkspaceLicense operationsUser subscriptionUser resolution rules. 2. Select New. 3. On the form, fill in the fields. For a description of the field values, see [User resolution rule fields](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/OQ~zikfJwKnExS3FW_oCrQ "Fields on the User Resolutions Rules page help you create a rule to map the User field in the Software Subscription [samp_sw_subscription] table to an associated user in the User [sys_user] table within the ServiceNow AI Platform."). 4. Select Save. ## Result If the user resolution rule is correctly configured and the Download subscription job SAM - Refresh \ Subscriptions runs successfully, the unresolved subscription you targeted is cleared from the Subscriptions without user page in [License operations view](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/f97mKB9sVuReYp71DCuFZA "Use the License operations view in Software Asset Workspace to manage software asset operations. These operations include management of licenses, contracts, discovery, client access, resource value, user subscriptions, content suggestions, software asset success, cloud cost simulation, SAM implementation, IBM ASP, IBM ILMT V2 integrations, and engineering apps integrations."). If you find multiple records with the same email address but different User IDs and associated user classes, enable the system property sn_itam_samp.user_resolution_exclude_table. Provide a list of comma-separated table names that extend the User \[sys_user\] table to exclude them from user resolution. After making these changes, rerun the Download Subscription job SAM - Refresh \ Subscriptions to associate users with their subscription records. **Related concepts** * [SaaS License Management setup for large companies](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/hXXHTnTwtN~igtwCivDcLQ "Set up SaaS License Management for large companies to confirm that you can view all SaaS usage data in your ServiceNow instance.") * [SaaS Overview dashboard](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/rQYK9q89ZqI_8SZXG~M73w "Optimize how much your organization spends on SaaS and SSO licensing by analyzing the subscription usage, cost, and compliance of your SaaS applications and SSO providers using the SaaS Overview dashboard.") * [Integrate with SaaS applications](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/nKzvYL64ylsYLmHIwmr0yw "Create an integration profile to view software usage information and optimize stale licenses.") * [Integrate with SSO providers](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/IMOa3sVowp~p4HWumi~K~w "Integrate with a Single Sign-On (SSO) provider to view software usage for all connected SSO applications.") * [Playbook for SaaS integrations](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/kpeL~E8j2QE~jO4czmYBzQ "The SaaS playbook provides step-by-step guidance for integrating an SaaS application.
