Self-Host Redpanda Enterprise Console features not available once Enterprise license has been applied

Last updated: August 10, 2026

 

Issue

Redpanda Console offers several additional features when using an enterprise license including the ability to reassign partitions within the interface. However, when self-hosting Console, after applying your Enterprise license, you may notice that some of the enterprise features are  still not available. 

 

Resolution

When self-hosting Redpanda Console, you must make sure you setup an Authentication method in order to have access to the enterprise features section.
