# What users can purchase the promote subscription? Is it limited to administrators only?

## Symptom

How can I purchase the promote subscription? Is it limited to administrators only?

## Environment

SAP Business Network

## Resolution

```
 Any user on the account can purchase the promote subscription. In order to make changes to the Company Profile, complete verification, or manage SAP Business NetworkDiscovery, additional permissions may be required. Your SAP Business Network company administrator can assist in granting the proper permissions.
```

**\*\* Please note** that child accounts in a parent / child hierarchy cannot purchase the subscription; the parent account will need to purchase in these cases.
