| **Role Availability** | Read-Only | Investigator | Analyst | **Manager** |

The My Subscription page displays if your deployment (Entire process involved in installation, configuration, startup, and testing of hardware and software in a specific environment.) has been connected to a USM Central (A federation console that enables centralized security monitoring for multiple LevelBlue USM Anywhere and LevelBlue USM Appliance deployments.) or if there are no connections.

## Deployment Status

USM Central is a unified console that gives you a single place to monitor and manage multiple USM deployments. USM Anywhere displays if you have your deployment connected to a USM Central, the status of that connection, the domain, and when it was connected.

**Deployment Status Types**

| Status | Description |
| - | - |
| Connected | The deployment is connected to the USM Central environment. |
| Not Connected | The deployment is not currently connected to USM Central. |
| Connection Denied | A connection request was initiated from the deployment and the request was denied from the USM Central console. |
| Connection Request Sent | A connection request was initiated from the deployment and is awaiting an acceptance or denial. You can [accept](https://levelblue-final.mintlify.site/documentation/Default) or [decline](https://levelblue-final.mintlify.site/documentation/Default) the request in the USM Central console. |
| Connecting | The USM Central is waiting for a USM Anywhere connection. |

   The connection is not complete until the user accepts the connection request. See [USM Central Connections](https://levelblue-final.mintlify.site/documentation/usm-central/connections/connections.md) for more information.

   Once the request has been accepted, the deployment has been connected.
