The user requires an Azure Active Directory subscription to access the service plans in Azure Active Directory. An Azure Active Directory subscription defines the scope of service plans that the user can access. Use of individual service plans by the user can be permitted or not.
Example:
The Azure Active Directory subscription A contains service plan 1, service plan 2, and the service plan 3.
Therefore, the user can use service plans 1 and 3.
In Azure Active Directory, Azure Active Directory subscriptions can be assigned to users and groups. Service plans can be permitted or not depending on the assignment method. The user obtains all the permitted service plans.
Example:
The Azure Active Directory subscription A contains service plan 1, service plan 2, and the service plan 3.
The Azure Active Directory subscription B contains the service plan 4, service plan 5, and the service plan 6.
Therefore, the user can use service plans 1, 3, 4, and 5.
It is possible that a user obtains the same Azure Active Directory subscription directly as well as through one or more groups. If a service plan is permitted by one assignment method and not by another, the user is given the service plan.
Example:
The Azure Active Directory subscription A contains service plan 1, service plan 2, and the service plan 3.
-
The Azure Active Directory subscription A is assigned directly to the user.
-
The user is not permitted to use service plan 2.
-
The Azure Active Directory subscription A is assigned to group A.
-
All service plans for the group A are allowed.
-
The user is in group A.
Therefore, the user can use service plans 1, 2, and 3.
In , Azure Active Directory subscriptions and service plans and their assignments to Azure Active Directory user accounts and Azure Active Directory groups are mapped as follows.

This table contains all Azure Active Directory subscriptions. The information about Azure Active Directory subscriptions within an Azure Active Directory tenant is loaded into by synchronization. You cannot create new Azure Active Directory subscription in . |
AADServicePlan |
This table contains the service plans. The information about service plans within an Azure Active Directory tenant is loaded into by synchronization. You cannot create new service plans in . |
AADServicePlanInSubSku |
This table contains service plan assignments to Azure Active Directory subscriptions. The assignments are loaded into by synchronization. You cannot edit the assignments in . |
AADDeniedServicePlan |
This table contains service plan assignments to Azure Active Directory subscriptions for mapping service plans that are not permitted. The entries are created automatically in One Identity Manager after synchronizing Azure Active Directory subscriptions.
Service plans that are not permitted are called "disabled service plans" in One Identity Manager. By assigning a disabled service plans to an Azure Active Directory user account in One Identity Manager, you disable the use of this service plan in Azure Active Directory. |
AADUserHasSubSku |
This table contains Azure Active Directory subscription assignments to Azure Active Directory user accounts. It maps direct assignments of Azure Active Directory subscriptions to Azure Active Directory user accounts and assignments that an Azure Active Directory user accounts obtains through its Azure Active Directory groups. The assignments are loaded by synchronization.
You can assign Azure Active Directory subscriptions to Azure Active Directory user accounts in either directly, though IT Shop requests, or through departments, cost centers, locations and business roles.
You cannot edit assignments by Azure Active Directory groups in .
The Azure Active Directory group that an assignment results from, is mapped in the Azure Active Directory source group column (AADUserHasSubSku.UID_AADGroupSource). If the column is empty, this assignment of the Azure Active Directory subscription to the Azure Active Directory user account is created either directly, though IT Shop requests, or through departments, cost centers, locations, and business roles. Assignments through Azure Active Directory groups are marked in the Origin column with the Assignment by group value (AADUserHasSubSku.XOrigin=16).
The table also contains a list of disabled service plans from its Azure Active Directory subscriptions for each Azure Active Directory user account (AADUserHasSubSku.DenyList). |
AADUserHasDeniedService |
This table contains disabled service plan assignments to Azure Active Directory user accounts. The entries are taken from the list of disabled service plans (AADUserHasSubSku.DenyList).
You can assign disabled service plans to Azure Active Directory user accounts in either directly, though IT Shop requests, or through departments, cost centers, locations and business roles. By assigning a disabled service plan, you disable the use of this service plan in Azure Active Directory.
NOTE: A disabled service plan that is assigned to a user account can be permitted if the user accounts obtains the service plan additional through a group and the service plan for the group is allowed. The assignment by group is not mapped in this table. |
AADUserHasServicePlan |
This table contains the service plan assignments for Azure Active Directory user accounts that are in effect. The assignments are calculated in from the entries in the AADUserHasSubSku, AADUserHasDeniedService, AADGroupHasSubSku, and AADGroupHasDeniedService tables. |
AADGroupHasSubSku |
This table contains Azure Active Directory subscription assignments to Azure Active Directory groups. This table also contains a list of disabled service plans from its Azure Active Directory subscriptions for each Azure Active Directory group (AADUserHasSubSku.DenyList).
The assignments are loaded into by synchronization. You cannot edit the assignments in . |
AADGroupHasDeniedService |
This table contains disabled service plan assignments to Azure Active Directory groups. The entries are taken from the list of disabled service plans (AADGroupHasSubSku.DenyList). You cannot edit the assignments in . |
Detailed information about this topic
An Azure Active Directory user account can obtain Azure Active Directory subscriptions and Azure Active Directory service plans directly or through its Azure Active Directory groups.
NOTE: It is possible that an Azure Active Directory user obtains the same Azure Active Directory subscription directly as well as through one or more Azure Active Directory groups. If a service plan is permitted by one assignment method and not by another, the user is given the service plan.
This means:
A disabled service plan that is assigned to a user account can be permitted if the user accounts obtains the service plan additional through a group and the service plan for the group is allowed.

Azure Active Directory subscriptions can be assigned directly or indirectly to Azure Active Directory user accounts.
In the case of indirect assignment, employees and Azure Active Directory subscriptions are assigned to hierarchical roles, such as departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles. Azure Active Directory subscriptions assigned to an employee are calculated from the position in the hierarchy and the direction of inheritance. If the employee has a user account in Azure Active Directory, Azure Active Directory role subscriptions are inherited by this Azure Active Directory user account.
Furthermore, Azure Active Directory subscriptions can be assigned to employees through IT Shop requests. Add employees to a shop as customers so that Azure Active Directory subscriptions can be assigned through IT Shop requests. All Azure Active Directory subscriptions assigned to this shop can be requested by the customers. Requested Azure Active Directory subscriptions are assigned to the employees after approval is granted.
TIP: You can combine the account definition for creating the Azure Active Directory user account and the Azure Active Directory subscription that will be used into one system role. In this way, the employee automatically obtains a user account and an Azure Active Directory subscription.
An employee can obtain this system role directly through departments, cost centers, locations, or business roles, or an IT Shop request.
To react quickly to special requests, you can assign Azure Active Directory subscriptions directly to Azure Active Directory user accounts.
