Change to organization-level activation of the Premium tier
To change from a project-level activation to an organization-level activation, you must first review and complete all of the items in the Before you begin section of the Security Command Center Premium tier activation documentation. Then, follow the instructions in Activate Security Command Center Premium at the organization level.
Switch to the Premium tier pay-as-you-go option
If your organization uses a Security Command Center Premium tier subscription, you can enroll in pay-as-you-go pricing before your subscription expires to provide uninterrupted access to Security Command Center Premium.
To enroll in pay-as-you-go pricing, complete the following steps:
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Tier Detail page.
Select the organization that you want to switch the pricing option for, and then click Select.
Click Manage tier.
In the Manage tier pane, verify that Premium is selected and click Update.
Once you have completed these steps and your subscription expires, the pay-as-you-go pricing takes effect.
Downgrade from the Premium tier to the Standard tier
Complete the following steps to change from the pay-as-you-go payment option for the Security Command Center Premium tier to the Security Command Center Standard tier. By default, if you have a subscription, you are automatically downgraded to the Standard tier when the subscription expires.
When you downgrade to the Security Command Center Standard tier, you lose access to Premium tier services and features. Verify that your organization's security risk profile isn't negatively affected before you make this change.
Even though the Security Command Center Standard tier is free, you might still experience indirect charges. For more information, see Possible indirect charges associated with Security Command Center.
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Tier Detail page.
Select the organization that you want to downgrade the Security Command Center tier for, and then click Select.
Click Manage tier.
In the Manage tier pane, click Select for the Standard tier and click Update.
