	Not yet. You want a service where the owner of a cost center can define rules for rolling out eligibility? And you want to control who is allowed to manage which cost center and user group and is allowed to see what set of information? But this sounds like a complex service. ~~You also would like to create rules based on information like the faculty of a student or if the employee is part of the library. But do you really want to forward all~~ of this ~~information~~ to ~~a service outside the scope of your institution?~~		Not yet. This sounds like a complex service. There are plenty of [[Guide: Entitlement & Eligibility#Central eligibility platform\|questions for this central service]] we have to ask in advance.
