To set up the API Management capability from SAP Integration Suite, you should first have an Integration Suite subscription.
Subscribe to SAP Integration Suite in SAP BTP cockpit and assign the *Integration\_Provisioner* role to gain access. For more information, see [Initial Setup of SAP Integration Suite](10-InitialSetup/initial-setup-of-sap-integration-suite-3dcf507.md).
> ### Note:
> Please make sure that you do not have a starter plan instance created in the same subaccount where you intend to create an Integration Suite subscription. Additionally, please note that API Management capabilities from SAP Integration Suite and API Management subscriptions using the stand-alone tile cannot coexist in the same subaccount.

To access the *API Settings*, the *APIManagement.Selfservice.Administrator* role must be assigned to you.
> ### Note:
> If you are using a trial account, your account will be automatically provisioned once you select the *APIs* option in the *Settings* menu. During the provisioning process, the system will assign a default virtual host for you. You will receive a notification when the provisioning is complete. At this point, the *APIs* option will no longer be visible in the side-navigation menu under *Settings*. You will be logged out of SAP Integration Suite automatically. To continue, simply log in again. After logging in, you will have the ability to create APIs, build API proxies as a service provider, and utilize other convenient services offered by the platform.
